Open Source DRM

Posted by timothy on from the not-necessarily-an-afj dept.

Clyde writes "The different worlds of DRM and Open Source have come together under OGG-S, a project that just recently went to beta with their Open Source DRM toolkit. The project license in GPL and uses OpenSSL for its encryption engine. It will be interesting to see if this project helps to spread the acceptance of Ogg Vorbis."

    Open Source DRM is an obvious ploy by the Illuminati to spread "acceptible" DRM to the resistant open source community. Once they have us eating out of their palms their world domination plan will advance another great step forward.

    Where's my tin foil hat?

      Many people don't realize the little known fact that Gollum is actually a prehistoric Yoda!

    Well, I'd be happy to tell you what to think, but since you ate that stupid apple, you have to form your own opinions for a change.

    Serves you right, you smart-ass kids.

  6. What does "OGG-S" Stand for? by Euphonious+Coward · · Score: 2, Funny
    What is this "OGG-S" supposed to stand for? ("Ogg" itself, of course, isn't an acronym.) If I may hazard some guesses:
    • "Ogg's Goodies Gavel-Slammed"
    • "Ogg Gets Gonads-Suckage"
    • "Oggs Get Gut-Sliced"
    But of course you can do better.
