yes of course i read your posts... the sim card makes the data unbreakable unless one has both the card and the data and has time to run the data through it. that's a step forward from today but as i said, after that kernel mode drivers, hdcp paths and digital signatures and the force of law have to be relied on to prevent him converting to an unprotected format. scan someone's hard drive and if you see the signature he is handling stolen goods. this is all a step far ahead of today where you can upload a protected apple file and i can download and break into it. worse i can download sample files and break into them. platform independence comes like hdcp from manufactures signing up to standards.
but the important point i am also trying to make is that DRM will only take off if the content is superior to what we get from ripping a cd ourselves. eg distribute 24bit recording compressed to to give file sizes as big as flac but with vastly superior sound. also very rich tagging and art. -- willyhoops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
