Mac OS X Intel Kernel Uses DRM | |
|
||
| Time: 10:47 EST/15:47 GMT | News Source: Slashdot | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
An anonymous reader submits "Several people have discovered that the new Intel kernel Apple has included with the Developer Kit DVD uses TCPA/TPM DRM. More specifically, it includes "a TCPA/Palladium implementation that uses a Infineon 1.1 chip which will prevent certain parts of the OS from working unless authorized." | ||

What's this have to do with Windows again?
btw, where's the story on MS' massive patent grab that's on every other site on the net? |

| Well, it does have something to do with Windows, Vista is using NGSCB (Palladium) and TPM. |

| Latch, it's nice flame bait so they post stuff like this because it gets people in a fightin' mood. |

#2,3: We're all doomed. With the hardware guys, OS guys and media content creators all in bed together, consumers have no choice but to bend over for this crap. I hope it goes the way of DivX.

| Latch - you're absolutely right... sadly, I don't think there's much chance it will go away. |

Sigh...
DRM isn't about forcing consumers to do anything. It's about creating a marketplace that currently does not exist at all. This isn't a choice between DRM-free content and DRM restricted content. It's a choice between DRM restricted content, or no content at all. By introducing a reliable and secure DRM model, Microsoft will CREATE a marketplace that currently DOES NOT EXIST. Just like WMA and AAC based DRM allowed for the online music marketplace, hardware-based DRM will allow for all kinds of content to be sold online without the companies who make it available having to worry about widespread piracy. You will still be able to listen to your ripped MP3s, and watch your ripped DVDs. Nobdoy has EVER said that Microsoft's DRM technology would prevent you from doing this. What the DRM technology will do, however, is break down the barrier to entry for an entire new industry of digital content. So please, spare me the cries about fairness. 20 years from now we'll all look back on this as a great addition to computing. It will have made the internet a much better place with a lot more content. |
