Group cuts mobile antipiracy software royalties
 The Register is reporting this morning that in the face of strong protest from GSM operators and handset manufacturers, the MPEG Licensing Authority (LA) have slashed their proposed rates for the mobile anti-piracy system OMA DRM 1.0.The companies, including Sony Corp and Philips Electronics, said they would cut the proposed tariffs for anti-piracy technology by one third to $0.65 per mobile phone or other electronic gadget. Unfortunately for the customer the DRM implementation means forking out for a mandatory feature that actually makes the customer worse off, for example the DRM measure will likely limit the customer's ability to transfer music from a phone to their PC let alone to CD or other portable devices. Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM! |
