Re: [Trisquel-users] DRM may be added to JPEG format in the future

If you'll note I never claimed anything about technical effectiveness and was  
only replying to tomlukeywood's question of "how would that be enforced."

And as to "how" most DRM will be implemented in proprietary operating systems  
that are like jails where control over what happens is with the the developer  
of said software and not the user and if they try to take a screenshot with  
the OS's built-in screenshot software they'll likely be told something along  
the lines of "Taking screenshots is disabled while this image is being  
displayed" or some such thing. (Someone I know uses Mac OS X and a similar  
message appears if you try to take a screenshot while Apple's DVD Player  
program is running. That doesn't mean you can't run VLC instead to play the  
DVD and then accomplish the same thing.) That there may be ways to bypass  
that wasn't the point of my reply. The point of my reply was, again, to  
explain how it would be implemented (i.e. how people are going to TRY to stop  
it, not how well or how poorly that will be) in response to tomlukeywood's  
question of "how would that be enforced." The way around their method of  
enforcing is easy: Use free software. Then the developer can't add such  
restrictions to avoid taking screenshots or if they do, others will remove  
them but again methods of getting around it wasn't my point.
