Why doesn't anyone add DRM to their members' videos?
 

Just a general question for program owners.

I've noticed no one adds DRM to their videos, why is this? Or is it because the Microsoft DRM is so easily hackable, it is basically pointless? What about other methods?

Because the last time I did, the fucking company went out of business and rendered all my videos useless so I had to redo them all.

wow thats shitty :Oh crap

How long ago was this? was it on WMV files?

because members hate it

it hurts sales

the cost benefit ratio is way out of whack

and...it has been hacked.....easy to defeat now days

Well fuck, that's a negative that I never would have thought of.

That sums it all up :thumbsup

I Invented DRM.

Plus the rep of DRM has been ruined with all the scam sites using it. Download what you think is a free video and the hassle they have to go thru afterwards. Opeing a 30 second video turns into a 5 minute ordeal. Everytime i opened one up i was suspicious of viruses and stuff like that, though i never read of a virus being sent that way, you hear of all the other explits they use with movie files and granting that 'license' access to download to my comp always frightened me.

Plus the way you have to DRM.... It's a total pain in the ass. For example, Lets say I use a CMS that can automatically thumbnail... Well I need to have that part done BEFORE the DRM can be applied or that feature can't work. Plus your putting all your content into the hands of someone else. If they cam up with a way to do it that was FULLY controlled by the person using it, then maybe... but there really is no good solution that I have ever seen out there for the smaller companies.

Couple years ago, it was when Jason fucked over Oystein and they split. Yes WMV. PlayaDRM.

What was the outcome of that dispute?

ADG

ADG, it was settled out of court.

Agreed, the cons far outweigh any pros

Then you suck :1orglaugh

there are a few who still use it

realitycash still does last time i looked

That sucked I had thousands of my video clips encoded and they were all virally circulated using Kazaa. I had a DRM that would give pop-up hell and rewrite every single cookie on their computer. I was making a lot of cash doing that shit.....then it was all gone

Very simple, members don´t like it!

*hugs and kisses*

I would have thought that the porn industry as a whole would have created a DRM system that works by now. Maybe more creative methods are a better idea

re-write cookies the same way zango does?
