- christianbryant 13y agoThe point is that a corporation really ought not be the one that determines things like this for something that has up to now been a fairly open standard.
- ChrisAntaki 13y agoAh, so you'd prefer that plugins continued to exist, to differentiate the open standards and the DRM?
- mwcampbell 13y agoThe DRM extensions are just as proprietary as the plugins they replace. And the Microsoft DRM extension, at least, is quite likely to go far too deep into the OS (see also http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html).
- shmerl 13y agoDon't buy content from these publishers then. They are nothing without customers. When they'll realize that having customers is better than having DRM - they will throw DRM out.
