WMA licenses and digital media players |
|
|
When a DRM-licenses WMA file is moved from the computer for which
the license/key was acquired to a external digital media player (in my case,
a Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with supports DRM/WMA), how does
this work? I assume that along with the encrypted wma file, the associated
licence and key files get moved automatically too? But how does the validation
of the wma file using the licenses for the computer work on the digital media player?
I noticed on my Zen Ztra, files transfered to it cannot be extracted out. How much
of this is player-implementation dependent, and how much is actually encapsulated
by the details of the license file?

I have an iPod, and I know that it will not allow me to copy the music I
ahve on it onto another computer. I can, however go over to my fiend's
house and put his entire library fom his compter onto my ipod. but all of
my music files have no licenses. licenses are a bunch of crap, but i guess
we'll learn our lesson- thats what you get for downloading your music in an
honest way. |

DRM Licenses are no garantee for copyright licenses, and the absence of
DRM licenses does not conclude the absence of licensation under
copyright terms.
Anyway, in all cases you admitted to accept the DRM. At least Apple
doesn't fraud you, as FairPlay is fully MPEG4 compliant, whereas WMDRM
is based on violating it's very own format specification (which could
easily be charged as market rights violation), therefore frauding the
consumers.
