IEEE Working Group Considers Kinder, Gentler DRM

Posted by timothy on from the baby-steps dept.

slave5tom writes "An IEEE working group is trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Its scheme will allow unlimited copying of encrypted content, which will require a playkey to activate. Trying to add a cost by making the playkey 'rivalrous' (what you take I lose) and rescuing the big content players from the brink of oblivion does seem futile, but it is entertaining to watch them fight the inevitable."

    I didn't buy one... not because of the DRM, but for two reasons.

    1. I have no need for a console
    2. If I did have a need for a console, I don't spend any money on Sony products, period. Sony management thinks that they can bork my machine at their pleasure.

    I realize its minimal, but that's the only way I can punish Sony.
