- shmerl 9y agoI'd rather not support those who proliferate DRM up to the point of pushing it into HTML standard.
- josteink 9y ago> The drm is probably a requirement to stream many of the video Then why does Netflix apply drm to all served content, including its own?
- type0 9y agoNext thing you know the photos you upload to facebook might use DRM so that you wouldn't be able to move to other site. Would you be happy about such a development?
- tdb7893 9y agoI'm unsure how this is related to my argument. I never said I liked drm, I basically just said that it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make because it's probably a necessity if they want to license the content legally. Obviously I would be mad at Facebook but it's an entirely different situation
- type0 9y ago> because it's probably a necessity if they want to license the content legally. For sure the same argument could be applied to fb photos, the point is - it's a slippery slope and I'm not willing to walk it. It is a tradeoff though, the one which means that society is willing to trade their freedom. "The dancing pigs" phenomenon if you wish, the Felten & McGraw quote applies so much to security as it does to freedom and privacy: Given a choice between dancing pigs and security/freedom/privacy, users will pick dancing pigs every time.
- tdb7893 9y agoI still don't understand how the argument applies to Facebook photos. With Netflix we are talking about a requirement imposed by the people creating their content so my guess would be that the analogue in Facebook terms would be if users started not posting photos unless Facebook implemented drm but I don't really see the point of that analogy.
