DRM on the linux platform is optional. As long as companies do not enforce it, we are fine.
Though linus said its alright, he didnt say it should be in the linux platform. I tried most os\'s and they work fine without drm. So far, i have not read about anybody adding it to the platform.
Microsoft is lobbying for a way to manage or programs.
under DRM to DMCA. They want to lock down your pc so if you buy a product, in order to activate it, it must send a key to the microsoft server. If the government legislation, etc accepts this. this means we do not own the software and opensource will die!!!! I just want to make everybody aware of this since a few of us don\'t realize how serious this is.
linux will be affected as we.
So far, at the moment, the law isnt available to be enforced.
