When they gonna stop blow everything?

Police have carried out a controlled explosion on a vehicle at the hospital treating a suspect in the attack on Scotland's busiest airport. Officers also made a fifth arrest in the airport attack and a foiled car bomb plot in London.

These comments are like rubbish

Sometimes I can't understand...

I've got it!

Sorry but you are discussing bullshit

But other said that the judgement induces common sense, tertium non datur

As one clever person said the judgement transforms tragical hedonism.

Interesting opinion. But IMHO it's just an opinion.

I have great experience in that. So I can understand...

Sorry. I'm not agree with you.

I think my biggest problem with anybody's DRM is the concept of ownership.

In the material world: I *own* a product as soon as my purchase is complete. How I use it is entirely my decision, and the manufacturer does not have any involvement with my product unless I choose to involve them. This works because the roles of producer and consumer are clear.

But in the virtual world (software, music, etc...), the roles are blurred. Consumers can become producers once they possess a product. Human nature is at odds with the desires of the producers.

The only reason this is a problem is because the profit motive is involved. Assuming that music were free (free as in beer), how else would a record company make money? Advertising. Subscriptions. Fulfillment. Fan clubs. Private events. Merchandise. You name it. But the real answer is: by building relationships instead of fences.

By the way: If DRM becomes a long-term reality, I'm going to expect that all my old LP's, VCR tapes, and software become liquid licenses that I can exchange freely on the open market. "Hey, I'll trade you my Bambi for your Rambo II".

England calling. I've been to iPod/iTunes hell (2 daughters, 2 iPods, 2 iTunes accounts on a 1 Mac. Local Mac centre couldn't make sense of what they saw. iPods replaced. Mac logic board replaced. iPods still refuse to download music bought from iTunes but wlll cheerfully accept semi-legal downloads)

But my point is that the ideas on VRM might help fix some of the problems in the area of security of electronic health records.

The trouble with DRM is that the companies that inflict it, mostly Western Corp. think that by limiting the customers fair use of a product is the way to go. They forget that most countries do not enforce copyright protection until they are a producer of that type of product. Also for copyright to be enforced in any country that country will be required to sign on to some agreement. What is illegal in the USA ,is not illegal in some European countries, or other countries throughout the world.

A key premise of the Sun Microsystems' lab DReaM project (http://openmediacommons.org/) is that content should be licensed to a person independent of a particular device. Properly implemented, that device-independent, identity-centric concept should meet expectations of both consumer and vendor.

Maybe some of the technical aspects of iTunes DRM are misrepresented in this article, but it's a good, informative read as per usual from Doc.

My problem with the general thesis of DRM and it being so anti-user is that, in reality, people do choose iTunes knowing the limitations. I knew before buying the recent Bob Dylan album that yes, if I bought it on CD from a shop, I'd have more control over the media, as well as a little better quality. But, because I didn't fancy a trip out to the city centre to battle through the music shops, I settled on iTunes. In effect, I accepted a degraded experience for convenience. I guess it's all about balance: the ridiculous limitations placed on Zune file sharing makes it unattractive. A 5 computer limit on iTunes, for most people who aren't raging geeks like us (and even then, I have only 4 machines active), is acceptable.

We, as consumers, choose various levels of service based on our needs. Sure, it would be best to hear The Beatles played live during the recording sessions. It'll be great to hear it in Dolby 5.1 like with the latest Love album. But I settle with Stereo as I don't possess a time machine nor a fancy 5.1 setup :-) Headphones do just fine, as does a 5 computer limit on DRM!

Doc, agreed that it would be interesting to see more creative applications of DRM, but odd that you would use Apple's DRM to pick on in yr example, since Apple's DRM for music does allow you to do exactly what you say you can't do.

> limits their ability to be copied or used by a computer other than Joe's

> create an MP3 CD to play in the car he's renting

Apple lets me burn songs onto CDs and play them on other computers and CD players. The ripped CDs have _no_ DRM. None.

Also Apple-purchased tracks can be played on up to five authorized computers.

> put his iTunes collection on an external storage device to play through his home audio system

If you transfer the music to the external storage device via burnt CDs, you can do this with no problem.

If you find that method too cumbersome, you can also stream yr DRM-protected music from any of the 5 authorized computers to the home stereo system via airport express.

If those are both undesirable, simply buy yr music on CDs at a bricks and mortar store and copy them from the CDs. For me, the ability to select one or two tracks for a buck instead of having to buy the entire CD is such a huge benefit that i am willing to live with some level of encumbrance. And honestly, i have yet to run into anything that i've wanted to do with itunes w/regard to sharing that i have not been able to do.
