Triple negative - now that's something. And DRM and the entertainment industry gets a special case, isn't that great?
- danieltillett 11y agoI would have thought that DRM is a loophole you can drive a truck through. As long as any of your data is of value, you can claim the reason for encryption is DRM. Even if you let the end user have access to all data, you could always send some sort of DRM heartbeat.
- _up 11y agoNo loophole! It only count's if you exclusively need encryption for DRM. Not for other stuff like, to protect your users chat communication for example.
- danieltillett 11y agoI don't see the word exclusively. If you had a chat application you could protect the user content by sending along a DRMed ping.
