The Chinese were allowed to dump these on the market and kill off our mines at one point. I would hope we would not be stupid enough to let them do that again. Sadly I know we would.
My OS does not support TC. Once we go down this path, you will need TC to use all kinds of things on the internet. Make no mistake this will be used to kill FOSS on the consumer side.
My OS does not have such a protected path. Thus I gain nothing, in fact I lose since this means soon flash will not be what plays these videos anymore.
Not very easily, if you have something like secure content path that windows has. Enforce UEFI secure boot as well and you pretty much are left recording the screen with a camera. At that point the folks who download this copy will have playback fail when the same system recognizes the audio without accompanying encrypted data.
I cannot get "Game of Thrones" recent seasons. It simply is not legally available online. Even if I was ok with itunes I could not get it. So people pirate it. Many of them would be happy to pay, I would be thrilled to pay for DRM free versions.
It requires hardware support. That is why it does not run on non-chromebook ChromeOS installations. It does not run on x86 chromebooks last i checked either. That means this is harder to port not easier.
I disagree, what this will lead to very quickly will be videos only playing on UEFI secure boot machines running only closed operating systems. Once that happens the banks and online stores will want similar stuff. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Think about what it takes to do that last part. These cannot be trivial programs. They will have to be essentially the same as those terrible video game DRMs that will not run if you have a debugger installed or if you use third party software to mount ISOs.
Because it is pointless. The end result is the same as today. You would have a netflix and an itunes CDM instead of plugin and they would only work on Windows and OSX, since those offer protected content paths. The OSX version would of course lag behind.
So just to rename plugin to CDM you want to pollute the standard?
This changes nothing. They are simply renaming plugins to CDMs. Those will still be only available for limited platforms and each store/site will have its own.
No, they would just stick with what we have today.
HTML5 DRM cannot be implemented by any FOSS. If the blob returns video directly instead of writing to some DRM path like windows has it would be useless.
So this adds nothing, netflix would still be limited to close source operating systems.
Even the disclosure is near worthless since they can say Unknown to anything known to be bad and good luck proving it. I looked into this after I spent $3000 to replace main sewer line due to tree root infiltration.
In what state? In mine you can pay $500 and not fill out a disclosure form or pay it and claim the disclosure is possibly wrong. Nearly all houses are sold that way. Since $500 is not a lot to avoid liability on the property. At the time that law was passed $500 was a lot of money. Today it is not.
At least you can try to sue a bank. In many cases suing a previous homeowner is nearly pointless. They may not have the money to pay a judgement and you may not even be able to find them.
The simple fact is realtors motives do not line up with the buyer. A realtor wants you to buy any house as soon as possible. That way they spend the least amount of time for the commission. People do not turn over houses fast enough for it to be that common to use the same realtor again.
Again more liability on their part would help line up their motivations.

Sure, but again some sort of escrow system could deal with that. Money only gets released as parts pass QA.
I would have assumed some third party would have held the money in escrow until delivery and confirmation of the parts meeting spec.
Is there no method to do that?
Actually it cannot.
There is no way to provide such a thing when I can build my own kernel.
Less intrusive DRM is always better than more intrusive.

If we want to help with the Cartels we need to end the war on some drugs. That is what funds the majority of these folks operations.
So you paid before you got a sample? or the first delivery?
That seems fraught with peril.

So why not just stick with the object tag then?
It cannot fulfill its role if that is all it does. In that case copying its output would be trivial.

Because that will make it easier. Right now it would require a lot of work.
If don't see that you do not value freedom and we simply will have to disagree.
Content does not follow money.

You do realize that Flash DRM is a joke right?

Sure there is, the decryption module can only output to some sort of content protected path. Otherwise recording its output would be trivial.

It really can't be since it has become so common.

No, I am talking about disclosure.
NY state allows you to pay $500 to the buyer and not do a state disclosure. Federal ones still do apply.

You got very lucky.
