A Look at Google DRM

pcause writes "The Register is reporting on Google's recent announcement of their own DRM. From the article: 'Google's DRM will make its first appearance as part of a new video downloading service. Page revealed that customers will be able to buy TV shows from CBS, NBA basketball games and a host of other content with Google serving as the delivery broker for the video. This move mimics other technology companies - most notably Apple - which have struck deals with large media houses to send video over the web for a fee.' "

Re:Media Companies and DRM

[zotz]

Ah, but this is foolishness.

One of the big boys could buy a media company, copyleft all the media. (Buy all the rights needed from whomever to get this done.)

They could also run their own versions of star search, american idol, etc. and fund the creation of new, hit, copyleft music and more.

Revenue stream without DRM.

Aren't people always saying the electronics and computer industries are way bigger than the entertainment industry?

all the best,
