I've never heard users in our forums, reviews, or e-mails say ... Go signup today because this site has GOOD DRM. To them, there is no such thing.
Here's another example: http://www.pornusers.com/replies_view.html?id=1164 (small sample, but still makes the point)
Not saying what you're suggesting can't work, but it needs to be re-invented in a new package (and brand) where there is no expiration and the license doesn't interfere with the playback. |
Ok well apparently you haven't read anything I've written, you just saw the letters DRM and jumped in from there.
I specifically said that they could keep and play the file forever, on multiple devices, there would just be a limit on how many different devices it could be copied to....the way apple does with itunes.
Yet even if I did this, your reviewers would make it a point to highlight the fact that I'm using "
DRM" and therefore I would be punished for trying to protect my content.....which is the point the thread starter was making.
It doesn't matter though, I'm sick of discussing this stuff....this business has been nothing but a race to the bottom and the pursuit of the quick buck for the past 10 years. The fact that people will continue to eat their seed corn and their young in this business shouldn't surprise me, yet at times I guess it still does.
