Interesting, so you claim that encoding audiofiles with a codec you somehow have the intellectual rights to use gives you the same legal status if you protect the files by some drm-scheme? Seriously, I'm guessing that the alienbbc plugin "gottaway" with it largely because a) the bbc-streams where not intended to be protected b) bbc don't own the rights on real-audio anyway c) the violation would have to be argued base on the (mis)use of real-audio decoders, something which the alienbbc guys did not have anything to do with, AFAIK. OK, so some third-party developer could do it with a plugin. But SERIOUSLY do you think apple would let them get away with that without putting up a fight? I think not. Still someone might come along and do it. But really, as much as I dislike drm, this would be borderline seriously borderline stuff and potentially a major risk for anyone taking picking it up. So please, tell us where you see the loophole here. By now I gather that you really think this is a realistic thing to thrive for. -- bhaagensen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53460 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
