Special-K Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 http://www.wired.com/entertainment/music/n...8/01/sony_music I think this might slow down downloading until we find a way to get rid of it. Then it'll shoot back up again. Oh and there's this too: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/01/w...n-file-sha.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdshft Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 You see, the thing is, this relies on the source being an actual download. This cannot ever apply to a CD that gets ripped and then shared. And you could still probably strip watermarking the same way we stripped DRM from music. Although, we could see some sort of new rootkit, but I still doubt that type of "control" will ever resurface after the fiasco with SONY's rootkit being turned into malware.

Special-K Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 The copy-protection software that was on like half their CD like 2 years ago? I remember that {censored}. I got around it. I burned a copy of the CD through WMP and then just ripped it from the burned. So easy to strip DRM, makes me chuckle. I just thought I'd bring up this new way they're trying to go with, just so we all know ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idividebyzero Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Doesnt sound bad when DRM is the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdshft Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'd rather have DRM... At least we know 100% how it works and how to circumvent it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
