Real DRM

Posted by michael on from the one-drm-to-bind-you dept.

Cinematique writes "C|Net is reporting that RealNetworks has released a format-independent Digital Rights Management software called Helix DRM. Real states that MP3, AAC, and even OGG can now be released with a DRM wrapper. And this is groundbreaking how? More importantly, do they expect content producers and consumers alike to really adopt this?"

  1. Real... by mschoolbus · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Does anyone else have the feeling that Real has really gone downhill over the years? I mean, the Linux client seems unstable at best... But the Windows client, now I have sworn that thing was a virus of some sort at times, your system just doesn't seem right after you install it. Yes, they had a great idea, but I feel other formats have surpassed Real's 'quality'.

    This whole idea is completely unnecessary, I am sure it is just another way for you to send them your email address many more times than you already do for Real One...
