I thought Microsoft had been doing this for years. It seems like Windows needs to be wiped and re-installed every six months. By then, they are out with a new $89 upgrade that naturally incorporates the latest utility-of-the-month, and forces the third party vendors out of business.
Ok, since the article is really talking about Digital Rights Management, I'll ask, does anyone besides "big media" really want DRM? Probably not, considering their goal of total world domination. Reuters editorailizes, albeit correctly, that:
The media barons insist that if consumers are going to listen to music and view movie clips and news headlines on any gadget with a screen, then the rights holders must be paid.Is this news? They've been saying that for years.
