Vous reprendrez bien un peu de DRM ? Jeux, vidéos. Désol é on n'a plus de musique.

Bonjour,

* Les DRM à la rescousse d'une faille dans la solution Adobe de flux
vidéos via Flash ?

« "It's a fundamental flaw in the Adobe design. This was designed
stupidly," said Bruce Schneier (...) The flaw rests in Adobe's Flash
video servers that are connected to the company's players installed in
nearly all of the world's Web-connected computers. (...) One possible
solution would be to protect the video with a digital rights management
(DRM) system. A Seattle-based company called Widevine Technologies has a
DRM system that can encrypt online videos using Flash. »
ça ne marchera pas mieux, mais certains veulent y croire...

réinstallables seulement un nombre très limité de fois (1, 3, etc.,

* Encore une entreprise qui arrête son support DRM et des consommateurs
laissés en plan. Cette fois-ci, Wall-mart.

only people who pay for music risk losing it to DRM shenanigans »

« But don't worry, this will never ever happen to all those other DRM
companies -- unlike little fly-by-night mom-and-pop operations like
Wal*Mart, the DRM companies are rock-ribbed veterans of commerce and
industry, sure to be here for a thousand years. So go on buying your
Audible books, your iTunes DRM songs, your Zune media, your EA games...
None of these companies will ever disappear, nor will the third-party
DRM suppliers they use. They are as solid and permanent as Commodore,
Atari, the Soviet Union, the American credit system and the Roman
Empire. »
