Is DRM on its last throes at last?

A lively set of CES panelists tore into the current state of digital-rights management for movies, music and other content. Apple fans probably felt their ears burning for much of it.

IM sure that it will just be replaced quietly with something else while we are all distracted by the removal of the exsisting DRM

From what i can tell... ubisoft has made a big amount of waves with thier complete lack of DRM on thier prince of persia 2008... hell just stick in the disk... install.. and then remove it and never have to worry about anything to play the game.... smooth fast... and without much of any hassle at all....

Sounds sensible i mean the people that are going to buy iy will buy it regardless and the people that pirate it will just wait until a game is cracked and then download it no amount of DRM will change this

DRM really only works for a week at most then its normally bypassed

the game doesn't require a crack.. is install it and done.

I'm really interested in the sales numbers on the game... it's REALLY good.. and some places on the net people are stating they will buy the game even if they aren't interested in it just to support the move of no DRM
