DRM pour Adobe RTMP et Microsoft MSN Mobile Music service

[Benoît Sibaud <bsibaud AT april.org>]

* Adobe ouvre un peu mais garde la main sur son DRM :

« Abobe to publish the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) specification
used in Flash Platform »
http://www.infoq.com/news/2009/01/rtmp-to-open
« Adobe to Open Flash Platform Messaging Protocol »
http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200901/012009RTMP.html

Sauf que pour bénéficier aux clients (sic), la partie DRM reste
propriétaire (comment pourrait-il en être autrement...) :
« To benefit customers who want to protect their content, the open RTMP
specification will not include Adobe's unique secure RTMP measures, nor
will the license that accompanies the specification allow developers to
circumvent such measures. However, developers will be free to use their
own technological measures to secure content. The RTMP specification
does not provide any requirement or restrictions on a developer's own
measures to secure content. »

* Microsoft poursuit dans les DRM :

« Microsoft Brings Back DRM »
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/22/1914201
« Q&A: Microsoft defends return to DRM »
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/245859/qa-microsoft-defends-return-to-drm.html

Client captif, etc.
« MSN Mobile locks tracks to the mobile handset they are downloaded to.
It also charges more than the other services per track, and offers no
way to transfer your tracks to your new phone when you upgrade.  »
