Has anyone actually paying for DRM content thought about the future ? Can you or your loved ones listen to these files in +30 years ?
DRM + proprietary formats contribute to the "digital dark age" we will face. This information loss is a massive problem for human culture. Information must be in such format that it can be migrated to new storage formats indefinitely otherwise it's useless. Was it "play for sure" or something ? ( sorry no memory for that exact drm scheme )that M$ dropped so no customer can use their files in the future when their current hardware quits. I'll bet that it is fileformats out there that nobody knows how to encode today. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBRto be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to controll this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73651 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
