Microsoft klager over lukkede formater!

- Musikkindustrien har begått en stor tabbe. Ikke ved å gå med på Apples fastpris, men ved å la Apple lage spillere som bruker lukkede formater, er Glasers hjertesukk.

 

Glaser mener at det faktum at iTunes ikke spiller musikk lastet ned fra andre nettbutikker, tvinger brukerne til å ty til den eneste måten å skaffe seg ikke-kopibeskyttet, portabel musikk: Ved å stjele.

 

 

Det er jo akkurat dette DRM ble laget for. Å skape monopol og hindre konkurrenter inn på markedet. Det er nesten som med Microsoft og Office .doc format, hvor vanskelig er det ikke å migrere til StarOffice, OpenOffice eller AbiWord? Samba er heller ikke helt ferdig enda.

 

Et prakteksempel på at åpne formater burde blitt påbudt, eller noe, som .ogg, .ogm og .flac for de som vil ha lossless.

DRM has absolutely nothing to do with protecting content, it is about protecting the wallets of major corporations. The funny thing is they aren't protecting it from you, they are protecting it from each other.

the RIAA pretty much insisted that Apple use DRM when they opened iTMS. But it has screwed the RIAA ever since. Had they not insisted on DRM, iTMS would not have the upper hand in their battle with the RIAA. Apple may not have wanted DRM then, but I guarantee you they want it now. Why? Because if the music on iTMS doesn't have DRM, then it would be much easier for you to purchase music from iTMS and play it on any player out there. With the DRM, you are pretty much forced into using the iPod. Do you think that Apple would give up the vendor lock-in now? And what if an independent artist wanted to put their music on iTMS but didn't want any DRM. I wonder if Apple would go along with that or would Apple insist on DRM. Has anybody tried this? I'd be interested to know what Apple said. This would tell once and for all Apple's stance on the DRM issue.

"The founder of the Samba team of developers, which took years to create print and file server software that works with Windows, said his team is held back and playing catch-up. 'The tiny device I have here in the palm of my hand is the sort of product that could emerge if the information required by the Commission were available,' Andrew Tridgell said, holding a paperback-size storage server that he said could be turned into a work group server. Once it gives over the information, 'Microsoft no longer has a stranglehold over the world's networks,' he said. "

Det finnes ikke ogg, ogm, flac filer med drm?

 

Tror ikke plateselskapene vil tillate salg av musikk over internett uten en eller annen form for drm.

 

blir det gjort så tror jeg det vil bli mer utbredt, samtidig så er det kun de færreste spillere som faktisk støtter de formatene, bare se på sony som i begynnelsen hadde droppet mp3 støtten og slogte ingenting.

 

Tror forbrukerne må begynne å se på hva spillerne tilbyr, såvidt jeg vet så har iriver støtte for ogg, kanskje heller se de spillerne istedenfor ipod vil vi kunne se en forandring av bransjen.
