That's quite a nice idea they've come up with there. However, it's pretty flawed:
1. The copy protection will be cracked by Thursday. 2. Everyone in the world hates DRM and will use non-DRM ripping solutions. 3. Every piece of software that Real has ever written has been a horrible, bloated, sticky mass of crud.
For these three reasons, I will not be purchasing.
Hola, Lacy from Real here. Note: this software has nothing to do with RealPlayer whatsoever, other than it's from the same company. It's a small file, non-bloating and easy to use.

I agree. I think I used RealPlayer once before deciding that I'd rather ingest my own spleen than use any product created by those hellions again.
I would actually eat my pride and use this service, despite the DRM, if it wasn't made by Real.
