Helix DRM implements “Broadcast Flag”
Bookmark on del.icio.us Published by vanevery August 12th, 2004 in Copyright, Open Source, Streaming and Multi-MediaReal’s Helix Move
Ok, so, Helix DRM is open source… Broadcast Flag is the broadcast industry’s attempt at making it impossible to make perfect copies of digitally delivered media (DTV).
So my question is, since Helix implements it, meaning that it pays attention and can include the flag in subsequent uses of the media and Helix is open source, why can’t some enterprising coders just modify the Helix DRM to act like it cares but strip the flag out in the final product? I don’t get it… I just don’t get it.
