DRM is pretty weird stuff. Problem with it being the users patronage is not a specified feature set of something you bought. It propagates fact of 'liscence,over ownership,and portrays a fact of custodial 'asset,. A thing wich is debatable to copyright law as it is.
In its 'place ,if there is such a thing,it can be valuable.At least when the boundries have been set for example,networks,trees,forests. But the problem is that the ideas behind its right is 'open source"" - that is a copyrights,right is open only to the right of the publishers. And publishers are very much moot on the fact of the debatable 'asset,over patronage and purchase.
I could be mistaken intirely about DRM being to have anything at all to do with copyright.Copyright,and security are entirely two different things. In that light,again though as long as a boundry is 'managed,you have the notoriety of its 'place. With the internet having the abreviated aspect of denying 'person,simply on the 'managed state of place - think DNS,IP,etc Again the 'publishing aspect,can simply drop barrels to watch the gush without adjacently portraying the 'person in a way wich in signifagant in commerce and patronage.
The 'management aspect of DRM is only the 'Management-of-rights. With Microsoft having the details of acredation of DRM managed items included to software however,the 'back-end and 'front-end are ever apherent with either of the two having unanounced dispositions.
To me if a propriety,or entity wants a given relationship to their work thats fine with me.This may work in a network setting. But when there are certain ideas that are fundamental in commerce,such as payment,receipt,and asset a basis of 'right on part of person -a criteria of reason having been software does not preempt those ideas.
............just blabbing. Heck you know it,and I know it. Microsoft programming for DRM,has been going on for several years now. Probably wont have to worry about it unless you included yourself from porting the non-shalant back-end,to your front-end.
Management is management.But lets not confuse person ,place,and asset. Just what the Intel spokesman is generalizing for in 'old DRM,and new DRM. The new DRM,couldn't be any better than the old DRM. At least on the commerce side.Because the specification for the commerce,in the 'right of asset - remains moot as a topic for publishers. Probably the way they like it.
Desktops are limited. In that place boundry . DNS and IP and the likes. If I had my name on the door.The autoconnectives for 'any software would be the first I would be sure to disable. Back-end,or front-end alike.
..........hope we here more about this.Cause I hate having to replace the wheels on the car when I change the battery out. Just to find this is a 'party of gang thieves. etc.
Here is the U.S. the supreme court is due to rule on 'file sharing. In the EU,microsoft is trying to avoid a straight flush. DRM gives goods a bad name. Maybe management is doing well with it. Dont know,cant find anything about it,except back in darkened corners of 'liscencing boards,....
