Earlier, we brought you word that Ubisoft’s much-maligned DRM servers were on the fritz . “But why?” you probably wondered before continuing to stay far, far away from them. Well, what goes around comes around, it would seem, because Ubisoft’s declared that its servers are under “attack.” PC gamers who are both tech-savvy and prone to semi-militant protest? Who’da thunk it?
“Ubisoft would li...

Nem hiszem, hogy sokan egyetértenek majd velem abban, hogy igenis szükség van olyan eszközökre, amik megakadályozzák a játékszoftverek illegális másolását, terjesztését, magyarán lopását. Ne is menjünk bele hát a szokásos vonalon lefutható, parttalan szó-dzsiudzsicuba, hanem vessünk egy pillantást arra, hogy szívja meg az a kiadó, aki nem hallgat a szép szóra. Van ez a Ubisoft nevű cég, többek is...
Hey, Ubisoft: when you force users to maintain an internet connection even when playing a singleplayer game offline, you'd damn well better make sure you hold up your end of the bargain.
Having recently implemented a wildly unpopular new form of digital rights management for its PC titles, over the last few days Ubisoft released two key games for the platform, Assassin's Creed II and Silent ...
You remember Ubisoft's announcement that they were crippling their new games with a DRM system that would kick players out of their games if they couldn't connect continuously to Ubisoft's DRM servers? Now Ubisoft's servers have started to go down.
Of course, pirates and people who break Ubisoft's DRM can still play. Way to correctly align the incentives, Ubisoft.

Korábban már elkezdtem boncolgatni, hogy milyen kérdések merülnek fel, amikor egy digitális cuccnak az árát próbáljuk jól meghatározni. Most egy sokkal egyedibb, sokkal praktikusabb kérdést veszek elő, jelesül, hogy mennyibe kellene kerülnie egy elektronikus könyvnek (és hogy ez miért szívás különösen Magyarországon). Ekönyv és DRM Gyakorlatilag elhanyagolható az esélye, hogy egy DRM-nélküli...

Looking to further its mission of making your software, and your media, free of restrictions, Ubuntu is bundling an Ubuntu One Music Store into 10.04 , the next release of the Linux operating system due out in April. The store uses 7Digital as its provider, likely due to its greater international availability than Amazon's own offering, and looks to be integrated into the Rhythmbox music player...

A Financial Times szerint az Apple nem nagyon tud megegyezni a magazinokkal és a hírlapokkal, így a vártnál tovább tarthat az iPadra szánt tartalom összlapátolása. A fő aggodalom a tartalomszolgáltatók részéről állítólag az, hogy az Apple nagyon kevés információt hajlandó szolgáltatni a vásárlókról, egy újság esetében viszont eléggé megnehezíti a munkát, ha nem tudják, kiknek írnak.

With recent news about BioShock 2’s Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology, fans hoping to play the game on PC are in an uproar. Interestingly enough, it’s really not doing too much different in terms of its DRM choices. So why then, are so many people so angry? Because 2K was bold enough to explain exactly what “using Games for Windows Live&rdRead More...

Steve Jobs may have descended from the mountaintop today with Moses Tablet in hand, but a group of protestors were waiting in the foothills with a simple message: the iPad isn't a divine revelation, but a golden calf.
Members of the Free Software Foundation staged a small protest outside today's Apple event in San Francisco, making the case against Apple's use of DRM. The group's four-foot sig...

It's been 18 months since O'Reilly, the world's largest publisher of tech books, stopped using DRM on its ebooks. In the intervening time, O'Reilly's ebook sales have increased by 104 percent .
