So, companies see that no matter what, enough people buy it and subsidize another DRM nonsense.  I'm with you though.  What companies do is restrict content owners to do whatever they want with their purchased files.  Yes, I own the content.  I may not have a right to use it commercially or pass it as my own intellectual property.  But, I can do whatever else I want with it.  Sell, loan, whatever I want with it.  The sad thing is that, the more time passes by, the more restrictions we get on our media.  Back in the audiotape days, people made copies of their records and other tapes, and shared them with friends.  None of the labels made a fuzz about it.  Today it's a whole taboo and "you can't do that" nonsense.  WTF???  I forgot, it's all about the might dollar, greed, and corrupt politicians.  sad indeed.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2009 5:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG and SanDisk team up for memory card-based content protection scheme]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/lg-and-sandisk-team-up-for-memory-card-based-content-protection/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/lg-and-sandisk-team-up-for-memory-card-based-content-protection/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can't help but feel this is a step backward.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[laze]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2009 5:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG and SanDisk team up for memory card-based content protection scheme]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/lg-and-sandisk-team-up-for-memory-card-based-content-protection/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/lg-and-sandisk-team-up-for-memory-card-based-content-protection/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm sure this'll meet a warm consumer reception.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tobz1000]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2009 6:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG and SanDisk team up for memory card-based content protection scheme]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/lg-and-sandisk-team-up-for-memory-card-based-content-protection/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/lg-and-sandisk-team-up-for-memory-card-based-content-protection/</guid><description><![CDATA[Right, got it: don't buy LG or sandisk devices.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wwhat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2009 7:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG and SanDisk team up for memory card-based content protection scheme]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/lg-and-sandisk-team-up-for-memory-card-based-content-protection/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/lg-and-sandisk-team-up-for-memory-card-based-content-protection/</guid><description><![CDATA[I already don't buy SanDisk.

'protection'), and try to come across as advantageous for both the mobile network operators (MNOs, such a lovely abbreviation) AND the customer! Let me quote, for fun:<br><br><br>"“With this advanced technology, handset manufacturers and MNOs will be able to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of consumers who want easy access to premium content on their mobile devices,” said Amir Lehr, senior director, business development, SanDisk. <br>-----------<br>Easy access to premium content. This content restriction technology allows EASIER access than one without, apparently.<br><br><br><br>“The new LG KC910 Renoir highlights SanDisk’s storage-based service delivery technology that is designed to enhance an MNO’s ability to facilitate content usage in a flexible manner and lets service providers customize their method of content distribution.”  <br>---------<br>All the while benefiting the MNO! <br>Win-Win?<br><br>Sign me up for some of this. I want easy!<br><br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tekdroid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2009 11:47AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
