Digital Rights Management - DRM

Barron · 2005-03-17, 03:59 PM

I havent loaded Realplayer in years, but earlier versions literally took over a windows machine. The last time I loaded it, the only thing comparable to the intrusion it does/did, is very much like AOL, spyware, and adware is today. It was very intrusive and resource consuming.

Caveat: I havnt loaded Real player in years, so I no clue about how well or bad Real Player is now. I only know that I am soured on it and wont load it on my production machine and I will only load it so I can test the DRM for Real Player on another box.

I am planning DRM for Real Player, but the first step is getting WMP/wmv to working first.

cd34, Your post is very imformative, thanks!
