Napster To Go
DRM 'threat' astounds media
Register -
London,England,UK
The world's mainstream media has been amazed by
reports that the DRM technology intended to protect songs supplied by Napster's
To Go can be bypassed, "potentially letting [users] make CDs with hundreds of
thousands of songs for free", as one astounded Reuters reporter put it.
And it's true, they can. But then they've always been able to. The trick is
nothing new. Napster To Go was only launched earlier this month, so it has a
fairly high media profile right now. That's really the only reason why it has
been singled out for its inability to guard against such techniques. It's no
more a blow to Napster's service, its business model or Microsoft's DRM software
now than it was on the day before Napster To Go launched.
