It is their property they decided what people who purchase a license can and cannot do with it. Which means a CPU has NO place deciding this for the consumer. alex_d2w and th3rEsa 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gibs Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Will it now? I remember back in 2006 how people were swearing from the rooftops that Vista included this super secret DRM that would detect and block the ability to play movies download from the internet. How NVidia was putting in special chips and drivers on their cards that would be doing the same thing. What actually happened in reality? None of that.

Again, the freedom lost is the lack of choice. What type of legal activities could this prevent? PeterTHX 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th3rEsa Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 One obvious example is the right to make private copies, active in some legislations especially in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhh, thought that only applied to content you purchased, such as DVDs. Didn't think it would apply to streamed content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th3rEsa Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 You can purchase streams just like you can purchase DVDs. It's only slightly harder to keep them with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3X4S Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 So - maybe I didnt see it. Does the new tech stop the ability to save, or just to stream after being saved, or does it cut off the ability to - lets say steam Netflix to multiple devices ? Then you have the question of, once again, the prevention of streaming something you purchased - if you are simply streaming it to another device in your LAN - then.... Im sorry if this was explained in the article - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to spend some time reading the license terms of those streams you think you're "purchasing", because if there's one thing you are NOT doing, is "purchasing" it.
