What service was that?
- PhantomGremlin 11y agoThere have been a plethora of these. I don't remember much because I'd NEVER pay for DRMed media that I wasn't sure I couldn't get around. E.g. DVD is OK since there are plenty of rippers. Here are a few cases I recall: Microsoft screwed a bunch of people with PlaysForSure. Even the brown bar of turd wouldn't play it: The Zune and PlaysForSure music are both Certified for Windows Vista, yet the Zune cannot play PlaysForSure music purchased from the MSN Music Store[1] MLB did the same thing: Some hardcore baseball fans have been left stranded on third base by Major League Baseball after it decided to change DRM systems. As a result, game footage purchased under the old DRM scheme are no longer viewable, leaving fans with unwatchable footage—and no refunds.[2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plays_for_sure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plays_for_sure [2] http://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2007/11/major-league-baseballs-drm-change-strikes-out-with-fans/ http://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2007/11/major-league-ba...
