b.e.wilson Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 It occured to me today in the shower (where I do all of my best thinking; too bad I spend only a couple minutes a day in there) that OpenMG has the name presumably because it's open source. But at www.openmg.com I can only download a gnu-licenced mp3 id3 tag-editing .dll code. There is no hint there nor information about OpenMG itself. The website declares it's being rebuilt. My question is, has anyone got the OpenMG source code? Was it once available and currently it's not due to website reconstruction, or is OpenMG a marketing term used because it sounds better than ProprietaryMG? http://openmginfo.com/ offers only a fluffy overview of OpenMG, no technical information whatever.

b.e.wilson Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Okay, I've been doing research all morning. It seems that OpenMG (Open Magic Gate), is the most closed and restrictive of all the popular DRM systems (Fairplay [Apple], Helix [Real], and Windows Media [Microsoft] included).
