[...] Buradaki (ingilizce) haberde görebileceğiniz gelişme (rss’leri topluca okumak için erteleyince böyle geç de olsa) özetle şudur: Flash videolar DRM kontrollü yayın yapılabilir hale getiriliyor… Özgür bir çeşitlemeye olan ihtiyaç bu durumda daha da acil hale geldi. [...]

If you look at project metavid they are developing an open source, standards compliant and completely DRM free embedded player that is a drop in replacement for flash. I am certain it will get picked up by people after they realize how horrific flash is as the de facto embedded player for the internets.

@Tama and @Manuel,
The issue here is not that the incumbent players are clueless and trying to make DRM enforce the unenforceable.

This may lead to some unfriendly experiences, but So what. Natural selection will bypass this. These actions are not evil (To a degree), they are just those of an industry coping with change. (Well some actions from the incumbents have been evil I have to admit but not all)

It is likely in the future most content will not have DRM. It simply not worth it. But if content becomes FREE, this = DRM. Long story see my blog post on it at
http://www.crafted.com.au/blog/2008/03/09/free-digital-media-drm/
DRM will work for some niche content and derive a better ROI. I an connected to a few projects that only with DRM would they be worth doing. These are very niche content producers so pirating is unlikely to cause to too much issue.

At the end of the day. If you own content and want to sell it with DRM, it is your choose. And its the choice of the consumer to buy or not buy it.

@Lawrence: You are absolutely right…it’s confusing. Actually, from what I understand, to enable Progressive Download DRM for FLV files, you will have to either use the Adobe Media Player (not the web-based Flash Player) or built your own AIR application…

@Tama: I would have to agree with you. …and meanwhile, here’s what’s happening in other parts of the world: http://www.last100.com/2008/03/19/theyre-not-lying-cbc-to-release-tv-show-for-download-free-legal-and-via-bittorrent/

@James Gardiner: I’ve no doubt that Adobe is doing this to meet the demand of its clients. I’m not saying that Adobe are evil, but I am suggesting that DRM technologies tend to be vastly overused and prevent uses that would otherwise be possible (and legal) under fair dealing rules in Australia (or fair use in the US).

It’s not a misunderstanding of how industry works, but rather - in many cases - an understanding of the way that media corporations tend to treat DRM as a holy grail which (while it does prevent piracy in a lot of cases) also is overused and overdetermined in that it makes fair uses and fair dealing almost impossible. (Many countries make cirumventing DRM unlawful, even if that is for fair dealing purpose.)
