This doesn’t mean DRM is impossible, it means it’s only available to really big players who can cut deals with Google. Which makes it one of the few parts of the Web API that smaller companies and independent devs can’t use (not that I’d personally want to). Keeping it tightly controlled like that also makes it harder to crack.

We both know that's BS. I never thought I'd say this but Google is doing good by not selling this "product" to anyone that just asks.
