Digital Rights Management - DRM

[cd34]

its called Helix, and their DRM utility (at least what I have seen) hasn't been released publically through helixcommunity.org. I think Glaser's business model right now is one of content protection and delivery, through their own network, and hasn't been very inclined to not be involved in the delivery of content.

Microsoft's DRM is regrettably one of the more widely used platforms, and as such, there is some black art behind it.

Baron, I can understand the reluctance of people telling you how to compete with them. These guys paid a lot of money to become certified partners, take the training, set up the infrastructure, pay for licenses, buy their certificate and have things work.

With that said, php can talk over odbc. Microsoft does have full documentation of the SDKs available on their web site. Buy a copy of W2k3 (I am not entirely sure Web Edition supports WMS/DRM, I thought somewhere I read it required a more expensive copy), register and download the SDKs and experiment with it. Its been a while since I've worked with DRM and it has improved greatly, but, right now, its not a project that is in my short-term view.
