Comment How to create a "protected" work (Score 1) 734
All those schemes to build in protection into the hardware seems to assume that only a few should be able to create and manipulate actual protected work since if everyone can do it, well, then anyone can of course work arround it.
That mean that I can't make a movie/film/song/music/book whatever myself and apply any copy protection to it. I do still get copyright on it of course but appearantly I can either not have the copy to be distributed or used by others at all or would have to have it in a form that is unprotected.
That mean only a few big companies will have the "benefit" of such a system, right? In what way does this in any way help "content creators"? As far as I see it it is just a way by some of the big content distributors to basically force everyone that is a true creator so that they have to go through them to get anything published or distributed.
I wonder when those big content distributors will realise that the new technology is actually making them obsolete to a greate extent since it is now much easier for the ACTUAL creators to distribute their work themselves. But they fight on in an attempt to make it mandatory to use them for distribution. Sad.
