Hi,
Hi jos,
Thanks for sharing the information.
The management of Mary Matha High School, Thrikkakkara. is planning to
create VCDs of their anniversary programme, which has DRM in it. They
are planning to sell these VCDs to their own students. These VCDs can
be played in video players and computers but the users are restricted
to copy or rip the VCD.
Bad!!, I guess they have no idea of what they are doing.
Previous year they have done the same but it was a failure because
those VCDs, which they have created was not working in some vedio
players. But this time, I heard, they are trying to find an efficient
method to create VCDs, which has a perfect DRM.

I don't want to disclose the source of this news to you. But it is
true. I verified it. I believe that this type of nasty things can
happen in other schools too. So is it possible for ILUG to do
something to prevent this activity? Is it possible to conduct a DRM
AWARENESS session at Mary Matha so that the students can escape from DRM?
I think we can contact the school directly and initiate a discussion and
educate them on the consequences of
what they are doing, what is DRM and the evil effects. Also since as a
part of of our initiative for schools, we already
have contacts of schools and teachers, we can also alert them on the
evil effects that DRM can have, so that
it can bring about a larger awareness.
