ksandbergfl Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Note that the article states that Sony's OMA DRM scheme will be used on cell phones, video games, etc. Imagine "checking out" a song to a cell phone! What a mess.... Some hacker needs to get familiar with what the article calls "OMA Digital Rights Management 2.0 standard and with the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) version 1.1."

b.e.wilson Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Ah, another ironic use of the work "open" to make us think it's available to everyone. Like Open Music Gate (OMG), Sony's DRM continues to be the most closed and restrictive DRM method released in a consumer product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 "They hope it will be adopted by content providers" Suuuuure. They may adopt it, but the consumer won't support it. Remember DIVx, the Pay-per-play DVD snafu that had Disney and LucasFilm drooling? I sense a very similar disturbance in the force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latexxx Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 'OMA' in that article stands for 'Open Mobile Alliance'. Sony's 'OMA' means 'Open MG Audio' in which MG refers to 'Magic Gate' which is Sony's own protocol used when transferring data. All in all, Sony's drm has nothing to do with that article.
