Submission + - Google Reneges on Video DRM (theregister.co.uk)

It seems that the individual in the article will get a $2 Google credit checkout, but doesn't specify how much they paid initially. Whilst it may seem like there is a valid argument that they are doing this because they had so few sales, if external factors were to intervene with other, more successful services, there could be trouble ahead... ( and whilst there may well be moonlight, the music will be DRMed, so your love and romance will have to find something else to dance to. )"
