Subj : Self-destruct files to secure DVDs, CDs To : Nick Poroshin From : Denis Sorokin Date : Sat Jun 21 2003 12:31 pm Hello, Nick. [Среда 18 Июня 2003 в 15:04] Nick Poroshin -> August Abolins: MM>>> Yes, but the media industries will recieve a huge backlash from MM>>> their customers. I continue to spend $45 a month on cds and MM>>> dvds, but if they are hard to use and have nasty customer MM>>> unfriendly DRM, i'll probally buy indie music and movies. AA>> I hear ya. I feel the same way. If the industy makes the CDs AA>> less "portable" and limits their use to select players, then AA>> there is going to be serious backlash on my part and I will AA>> simply make do with the occasional song I can capture from the AA>> 'net or the CD collection that I already have (at over 1000 CDs, AA>> I can certainly relive a lot of good music!) NP> Whats why it will be hacked :). Everything and always. NP> I surely don't see any future for any DRM. In Russia, for example :) NP> Here it will be any way copied and appear in the form w/o any DRM, at NP> low cost. And of cozzz is the rite way. As any art, muzik must be for free. As musician I can say what money draw out policy of majority performers is very bad. If som man want to earn money then must find customer first. And then make his work. NP> Then will be a choise beetween fully-legal-expensive and cheap CDs, NP> etc. With limited, uncomfortable for using industry CD, there will be NP> too much space for pirates ... so they will do use it. Muzik what I labs for my own I spread gratis. In other hand if anybody want to buy work I will be lab for money. This is the most rite way. P./S.
