Howdy all,
I was wondering if anyone here's using DRM on their websites to protect content?
Ok and to answer the obvious question what the hell is DRM,
basically it's a Microsoft technology to protect audio and video files from being copied or played without authorization.
The ParisHilton video uses it to restrict people from copying the file, or playing it more than 5 times.
I'm working on a DRM product for websites (
www.vidlock.com) that allows them to real easily add DRM to their videos. The 2 benefits I can think of are 1) prevent stuff from being copied all over the damn place, 2) for things like 3 day trials, or monthly subscriptions, the content quits playing at the end of it.
Potentially this stops people from downloading a ton of crap during a trial, then calling up the CC company and giving you a chargeback.
So the moral of the story is, do any of you use this currently, and if not do you think small to medium websites might be able to use it, or would it really not add any value for them?
