Adobe Pushes DRM for Flash

,----[ Quote ]
| Now Adobe, which controls Flash and Flash Video, is trying to change that 
| with the introduction of DRM restrictions in version 9 of its Flash Player 
| and version 3 of its Flash Media Server software. Instead of an ordinary web 
| download, these programs can use a proprietary, secret Adobe protocol to talk 
| to each other, encrypting the communication and locking out non-Adobe 
| software players and video tools. We imagine that Adobe has no illusions that 
| this will stop copyright infringement -- any more than dozens of other DRM 
| systems have done so -- but the introduction of encryption does give Adobe 
| and its customers a powerful new legal weapon against competitors and 
| ordinary users through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
