Thanks but we all understand what DRM stands for and what its intentions are.
| S.T.A.G.E. said: Sharing was only a perk for doing it and could be added on the cloud which Sony will be experimenting with as well with Gaikai. Family sharing was a cloud function not a DRM function. If they choose to take the perk out of the software then it goes. |
Family share was an incentive for digital gaming and DRM just like cheap prices and massive sales are a perk for the same policies on PC. What Sony is doing is just cloud gaming, been around for years. On the family share you might access the games via the cloud but you don't play them via the cloud. And even cloud gaming can have DRM. Family share isn't a "cloud function" or a "DRM function", whatever these mean. It was a feature that used the cloud and DRM.
| S.T.A.G.E. said: Major Nelson told Angry Joe he was in no position to tell him that DRM could immediately be taken out because its a software fix and he was proven wrong. Its all software. With DRM you only have about the same rights as someone who uses Itunes, which isn't very much at all. They set your parameters so the transactions work at least 70% in their favor. Its no longer about 100% customer satisfaction but rather 70/30 power with the former being in favor of the capitalist corporation. |
As Angry Joe said in the video, Nelson gave him the only answer he could and was just doing his job. There was no "proven wrong". I am not sure why you are trying to explain how DRM is software based and is designed to give the creators some control. We all know this already and it's not really relevant to anything in my post that you quoted.
