Simple as that. It's worked for music - the percentage of people downloading illegally before companys such as itunes came along was much greater than now. For me I can either install something like imesh and have my pc ruined, and then downlaod 50 odd songs that take ages to download because I'm nto using all of my bandwidth. Or i can click a button in itunes and have the song within 4 seconds.<br><br>Admittedly torrent has made things a lot easier for people, but the prices people are charging for content is so small! THey should release brand new cinema films for digital download - that way the people who download them illegally actually have an option if they don't want to go to the cinema!<br><br>Rant over - I agree with Intel - it's not their job.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Luke Rhodes]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2006 6:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel VIIV says &quot;no, thank you&quot; to DRM]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</guid><description><![CDATA[This seems all well and good, but I was led to believe that Viiv certified PC's would also be sporting TPM chips (Trusted Platform Module) - so although Intel may not police the media you recieve on your PC, it makes it a damn sight easier for other companies to do just that! I can't tell if the TPM is disabled as default yet, but how long before iTunes/Msoft etc. start providing services that you can only access with TPM enabled?<br>I need to look into this more closely to really get the full picture, but the lack of information on what Viiv actually is seems to suggest to me that Viiv is really just a trojan horse for tighter DRM. I guess I'll have to wait and see. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2006 6:30AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel VIIV says &quot;no, thank you&quot; to DRM]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</guid><description><![CDATA["although how you can get much simpler than searching and double-clicking is beyond us"<br><br>It scans your brain, decides what you will love and automatically downloads the music.<br><br>Fredi]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fredi Bach]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2006 6:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel VIIV says &quot;no, thank you&quot; to DRM]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</guid><description><![CDATA[congratulations are due to intel for finally figuring out the value of consumer trust. i know that microsoft and others have plans to restrict content but i for one think this is an exciting turn in the IT industry. for years we've been told DRM "protects our content" but consumers, tech savvy and not, are beginning to understand theyre being shortchanged and intel is right to not want to cop the backlash when the shit hits the fan]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2006 6:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel VIIV says &quot;no, thank you&quot; to DRM]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</guid><description><![CDATA[TC, the VIIV PCs that are out already don't have TCMs. They may do in the future, but it's not a requirement at the moment.<br><br>ch424]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ch424]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2006 7:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel VIIV says &quot;no, thank you&quot; to DRM]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ok, thats a bit odd, I remember seeing a promo with Morgan Freeeman about how this whole VIIV thing was all about the DRM and downloading movies, etc.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lenny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2006 8:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel VIIV says &quot;no, thank you&quot; to DRM]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks ch424, do you have a model of a Viiv PC that doesn't have TPM installed? I figured that as the Viiv spec requires Intel 975X Express, 955X Express, 945G Express, 945P Express, 945GT Express or Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset, that the common denominator was TPM support (although not installed on 975x/955x as standard). I've had a quick look at some of the systems on the market and they all seem to support TPM, but I guess I need to check whether the chip is actually installed.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2006 9:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel VIIV says &quot;no, thank you&quot; to DRM]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</guid><description><![CDATA[It could just download all of the content ever made and make it 100% available.<br><br><br>there used to be a Qwest commercial like that, but I guess it never really panned out. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cheeze]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2006 10:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel VIIV says &quot;no, thank you&quot; to DRM]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</guid><description><![CDATA[The vast majority of peeps' TPM fears are totally unjustified.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jared]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2006 10:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel VIIV says &quot;no, thank you&quot; to DRM]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/intel-viiv-says-no-thank-you-to-drm/</guid><description><![CDATA[People need to stop laying into intel, can't we just be decent and applaud their having said what they did?

Boing-Boing (last week? well, recently) linked to a PDF of an Australian Parliament document that recommended a lot of law related to DRM and DMCA, to kill off their consumer restrictions. Comes close to putting DRM back to where it was supposed to be, keeping in-house stuff from casual hacking while allowing easy in-house usage --- not destroying fair use, time-shifting, backups, media-format changing (eg tape to CD to DVD etc). ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Anderson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2006 4:25PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
