Microsoft confirms Windows adheres to broadcast flag | Tech news blog - CNET News.com

Sun, 25 May 2008 02:22:36 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

News that the world's largest software maker has voluntarily agreed to help broadcasters control the recording of their shows is bound to outrage enthusiasts of digital video recorders, as it represents the biggest threat to the practice known as time shifting since the FCC's attempt to require flag adherence.

The "rules," in which the spokeswoman is apparently referring to are those proposed by the FCC, which would require software and hardware makers honor "broadcast flags." The flags are code that broadcasters can insert into the data stream of TV shows that typically require restrictions on the recording of the shows. What she didn't say is that the "rules" aren't rules at all.

The courts struck down the FCC's proposal in 2005, saying the regulator lacked the authority to tell electronics makers how to interpret the signals they receive. Since then, Microsoft and other manufacturers have retained the option of whether to honor the flags.

DRM sucks redux: Microsoft to nuke MSN Music DRM keys

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:49:40 -0000

Customers who have purchased music from Microsoft's now-defunct MSN Music store are now facing a decision they never anticipated making: commit to which computers (and OS) they want to authorize forever, or give up access to the music they paid for. Why? Because Microsoft has decided that it's done supporting the service and will be turning off the MSN Music license servers by the end of this summer.

Content from a post by Melanie Phung on the ”10 Years of Viagra Spam” was allegedly plagiarised by MSN India’s content partner India Syndicate, by “Aditya Mehta”.
