Like I said :. Well, regarding Napster, I'd say the discrepancy between "before" and "after" is very much due to the fact that originaly Napster was a lone star - the place to get music on line. You never bought a DVD? Last time I check most if not all have some form of Digital Rights Management. But if Universal is successful in this venture I dare say others will follow suit. To me the internet should be a big wide open television or radio broadcaster. You pay your price to access the channels, you should not have to pay for every single item channel you want to see and hear.
I repeat -. Digital Rights Management generally abbreviated to DRM is any of several technologies used by publishers to control access to digital data such as software, music, movies and hardware, handling usage restrictions associated with a specific instance of a digital work. The term is often confused with copy protection and technical protection measures TPM. These two terms refer to technologies that control or restrict the use and access of digital media content on electronic devices with such technologies installed, acting as components of a DRM design.
No, I do not own a DVR. No, I do not own a stand alone DVD burner. No, I do not have anything HD. Yes, the DVDs that I own do have copy protection on them. Do my DVDs have limited viewing times?
Do my DVDs only give me 24 hours after purchase to watch them? Is an internet connection required to obtain a license to watch them? And that is the difference, plain and simple. DRM is not about stopping piracy. It's about making content disappear every few years so that they can sell it to you all over again. It's about getting rid of "collections" and getting everybody on "subscriptions". The current so-called "purchase" or "subscribe" models of selling music online are really just two different versions of the subscription model.
When you "purchase" a DRMed track, you are buying something that will die with your harddrive. If you don't strip the DRM off of it, you will eventually lose it forever. That's by design. But what it does do is allow you "fair use" so that when you do buy or rent a title - such as a personal backup in case you have a drive crash. However, drmdbg is older and seems to stop working for a lot of people, whereas mirakagi and FairUse4WM seems more stable and has a nice, simple GUI - so I will detail that utility.

That is the restriction that the DRM adds - test that and see. Test that also. The ones placed on RapidShare and other file sharing websites never seem to stay there very long.
