We need a standard for DRM for Netflix, Hulu, etc. Otherwise they will forever use Flash or Silverlight. How can anyone argue against it? Content providers must protect their content from being stolen. Do you want to make an app and everyone steals it and doesn't pay for it? Probably not.
- npsimons 14y agoI've got a standard for DRM: don't use it. It's easy, cheap and doesn't require any laws or draconian software requirements on end users. I've been using this DRM standard for decades, and yet the people who make the software I use and the music and movies I enjoy are still rolling in dough!
- gph 14y agoSo you've never bought a DVD or streamed anything through Flash or Silverlight by a major publishing studio? Never watched a music video on Youtube that it didn't allow you to directly download? If so, congrats on sticking to principles. But that's not really a realistic solution for the majority of people.
- icebraining 14y agoDo you want to make an app and everyone steals it and doesn't pay for it? You can't steal an app, but you can copy and distribute my software all you want. Some of us actually work with business models that don't rely on legal privileges and broken "protection" schemes.
