FairUse

August 30, 2006

I have always complained about these protected DVDs. See, I buy my DVDs in the States, to be able to watch them in English. Problem is, my DVD player won’t play them. Bottom line, I buy a movie, and, as a consumer, I am some kind of punished for buying it. I don’t like it.

Same thing happens with all these music DRM (Digital Rights Management). I would be ready to buy the music I’d like to listen on iTune or some other store, but I don’t. Why ?. Because of the DRM. I am hearing I won’t be able to copy the file I would buy as many time I would want for example. After all, if I buy the thing, why I am forcibly restricted in its use ?. I could get the same file, unrestricted, with the same quality, for free through one mean or an other.

I just found out that finally, I may be able to buy legally the music I am listening thanks for FairUse4WM. I could legally buy the music, use the software illegally, and listen it, most likely illegally since it would be stripped from DRM.

At least, we’re improving, illegally :-).
