Microsoft, Windows 7, cable television, and the so-called âPlayReadyâ DRM scam
,----[ Quote ]
| What Iâm about to show is Windows 7 artificially crippling an otherwise
| normal, uncrippled cable television channel. PlayReady DRM hooks into Windows
| Media Center and artificially degrades your standard cable TV service
| provided that the channel involved has paid Microsoft a lot of money.

ars technica - Windows DRM? We're ok with that.

| A recent slashdot article outlined some of the DRM that can be found in the
| new Microsoft stab at relevancy - Windows 7.
|
| I'm hearing that Vista thing didn't work out so well.

| As a GNU/Linux-only user...one who wouldn't have one byte of MS code on his
| machine, I find the criticism valid...I would no more let Microsoft control
| my computer than I would ever purchase one of their products.

Microsoft confirms Windows adheres to broadcast flag
,----[ Quote ]
| News that the world's largest software maker has voluntarily agreed to help
| broadcasters control the recording of their shows is bound to outrage
| enthusiasts of digital video recorders, as it represents the biggest threat
| to the practice known as time shifting since the FCC's attempt to require
| flag adherence. Â Â
