Ironically, Navin said on a panel at the international Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that DRM inspires people to pirate content. So they have to find a way to convince their media partners to remove the DRM first, if they really want to compete with piracy. Bram Cohen, the inventor of BitTorrent and co-founder of BitTorrent Inc, told us last week, “Right now most of our content partners are insisting on DRM for the content we’re making available. It’s causing an awful lot of headaches, but we’re trying to minimize the impact on user experience and support” [...]

To be fair, BitTorrent Inc says that if they had it their way, content on their upcoming video store would be completely free of DRM. Apparently, it was the content producers who were adamant about it. [...]

When asked about the illegal torrents that BitTorrent.com indexes and if the company was planning to remove them, Ashwin Navin said, “Absolutely. BitTorrent.com is filtered so that we will not surface links for unlicensed content.” [...]

Remember they said your soul was due for it at a future time?

Well here it is!

The distributors have never had to cater to the customer before. It has always been a situation where they were in full control, and if you didnt like what they did, then tough shit to you. Now that we have a choice, and can freely obtain what we want without any of their outdated restrictions, they are dumbfounded, and are left so clueless that they probbably do belive with every fiber of thier being that we want to be controlled and told how and when to do what we want. someday I’m sure they’ll see the light and start doing things the way we are now telling them to do. If they dont, then tought titties to them, at this point, we no longer need them, and the sooner we remove the idiot factor form the planet, then the sooner life becomes a little more pleasant

Hopefully they will convince their partners that DRM is not the right choice.

Society doesn’t destroy crap like DRM by giving in to it.
