RIAA and MPAA Developing Domain-Based DRM
An anonymous reader points out news that the music and movie studios are attempting to develop a new type of DRM that would allow customers more flexibility in playing content on multiple devices. The Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) would establish a list of devices in your personal "domain" (unrelated to web domains), and minimizes or removes restrictions within that domain. TechCrunch summarizes DECE and notes that many of the big corporations have decided to support it.
"The ecosystem envisioned by Singer et al revolves around a common set of formats, interfaces and other standards. Devices built to the DECE specifications would be able to play any DECE-branded content and work with any DECE-certified service. The goal is to create for downloads the same kind of interoperability that's been true for physical products, such as CDs and DVDs. Where it gets really interesting, though, is the group's stated intention to make digital files as flexible and permissive as CDs, at least within the confines of someone's personal domain. Once you've acquired a file, you could play it on any of your devices -- if it couldn't be passed directly from one DECE-ready device to another, you'd be allowed to download additional copies. And when you're away from home, you could stream the file to any device with a DECE-compatible Web browser."

Well, back to rejecting software patent applications.
A compost pile is an ecosystem. So I'm suggesting HEAP - Helpless Effort to Accumulate Profit (of shit)
You're missing the point. Once you get the DECE compliant RFID chip installed under your skin, your friend's DECE compliant car radio will allow you to enjoy it everywhere!
Doesn't that sound great?

IranAir Flight 655 never forget!
You're comparing lawyers for the RIAA and MPAA to pigs? That, sir, is very offensive to pigs.
I demand a formal apology.
In addition, the iPod will never support it. There goes 70% of the potential users.
Wait until the next update of your ipod. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be technically possible to get this working on an ipod.
What does Sarah Palin have to do with this?
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
It's also called science
Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many.
Just re-encode the MP3s as FLAC. Problem solved!
