DRM

Cory Doctorow, em New AACS processing key leaks onto the net, afirma: DRM takes years and costs millions to develop. It is generally broken in days, by hobbyists, for free. That's because DRM relies on hiding keys in devices that users own and have unlimited control over, and because every single vendor has to implement its key hiding perfectly in order to keep the secret. All a hacker has to do is find one mistake, the weakest implementation, and it's game over.

Steve Jobs publicou hoje um manifesto ("Thoughts on Music") no site da Apple, onde sugere às gravadoras que se livrem do dispositivo de DRM ("Digital Rigths Management") que restringe o uso das músicas vendidas online. Pode causar espanto que o dono da companhia que mais lucra com o modelo de negócio -- através da dupla iTunes/iPod -- venha a público propor uma total virada nas regras do jogo.
