Eldmannen Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 The as****** at Adobe are adding DRM to Flash. http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/02/adobe-pushes-drm-flash It is illegal to circumvent DRM by in the US through the evil DMCA law, Europe have similar laws. This mean that it will be impossible to use third-party SWF (Flash) players, such as Gnash, Swfdec, etc. It will also mean that people cant exercise their fair-use rights of mixing and parody by downloading flash videos, mixing them, and uploading them. Something that has been very popular on video-sharing sites such as YouTube. So now Adobe are removing fair-use, mixing, parody, fun, and locking out the competition. They do have some greedy motivation to add DRM, since they sell Flash Media Server 3 which is needed which starts at over $4,000 (with extra fees depending on the number of simultaneous streams).
