| >>TV/Movie producers have a legitimate reason to want to protect their media. I disagree. >>>The lower the bar is for viewing the content they spend lots of money and work producing for free the more people do it. If there were no barriers to viewing movies then there are zero ways in our current economy to get a positive return umm they are the ones creating the Barriers, DRM is a Barrier. I can not tell you how many times I have wanted to buy a movie or some other content only to find out it is not on the Platform or service I have choose to use. Instead they want to only use the Platforms or services they bless. This is where the monopoly power of copyright breaks down. If I want to watch a movie using my rPi running kodi I should have an easy way to buy a movie that just plays via a standard codec, it should not only be on a netflix, or worse now that every studio is making their own streaming platform we are going to see more piracy because they are simply refusing to sell their content in the manner consumer wants to buy it. Basicly if you do not use Windows/Mac/Andirod/iOS you are out of consuming media. Linux haha screw you >>EME is a means to an end. It's not inherently evil DRM is inherently evil.. >>but today there is no way for our modern media to exist in a fully open source world. That is completely false there is thousand and thousands of hours of media that exist in a fully open source world. Music is almost all DRM free today, there is a strong push for DRM Free books, TV and Movies seem to be the last hold outs for Defective by Design DRM. |
