I believe that the goal of all DRM Implementers are the same -> Get more profit in their business by restricting the users. The same here too. They want to increase the no: of copies sold this year.They are not bothered about the freedom of the users of those VCDs. I think Apple iPOD with iTunes is a perfect example of DRM.

It is a good idea. But sometimes it is easy to change the attitude of students than changing the decision of the management. If students are aware of DRM, they won't buy the VCD. So eventually, management will change its decision. - Jos Collin -- Free software is the only software whose use constitutes development 2009/3/1 Sameer Mohamed Thahir <[email protected]> > On Sunday 01 March 2009 11:52 AM, Jos Collin wrote: > >> Hi, >> > Hi jos, > Thanks for sharing the information. > >> >> The management of Mary Matha High School, Thrikkakkara. is planning to >> create VCDs of their anniversary programme, which has DRM in it.
