DRM is a boondoggle. Consumers don't want it.

Does anybody remember the orginal company that used Divx name? It was for a pay per view DVD that consumers could get for free. It went out of business in 1999.

"But on June 16, 1999, after less than nine months on the market, DVE announced that DIVX was kaput, and registered players ceased to operate for DIVX playback on June 30, 2001"

So what happens to all this DRM ladened content when the producer ceases to exists? or when the formats evolve?

Consumers don't want ppv files! DRM will fail.
