| Re: Cohen may be kicked upstairs despite the denials While not unusual you often get stuck with people like Eisner and be in the same situation Disney is in. Disney used to be a hallmark of American creativity. Now they have to pay another company to make movies for them and for everything else they just rehash the same old, same old.
Keeping a guy who understands the creativity that gives them a business in the first place can often be more powerful than a run-of-the-mill bean counter/manager.

| DRM = BS While I agree that *Artists* should get paid for their works, once the file is mine... I should be able to play that file on any device I own without some bullshit DRM gumming up the works.
Limiting playback to 1? 3? different transfers is dumb!
"No burn" restrictions? Bite me!
Sorry people!
Until I can get legit works without all the garbage, I will go "elsewhere" and get CLEAN files for my enjoyment on whatever device I wish, whenever I wish.
If I really want to do it, I can remove DRM from the files I get - the point is, I shouldn't have to!
Instead of ???? producer spending millions on DRM(and passing the cost on to *ME*), how about better, smarter marketing and getting some better talent?

| Bram wants your upload ....for nothing I love this quote from Brams interview
who is he kidding
"BC: Peer distribution allows for more content, at higher quality, than could possibly be distributed otherwise, and that's a big win for end users. It isn't like end-user resources are being used with no benefit to them.
Users are happy to contribute bandwidth as long as it's part of a service they want and doesn't interfere with their general web-browsing experience. We've got technology to automatically reduce transfer rates when the user's net connection is being used for something else, so only spare bandwidth is used." | |

| Re: Bram wants your upload ....for nothing Ya, right pay for the privilege using a bit-torrent store and let them run their business by using my band width. So instead of putting in a decent server farm with a version of bit-torrent to use it. Do these people honestly think we are that stupid......I guess they do.

Not everyone wants to live in a shanty just so they can uphold a some stance that ranks right up there with choice of car colour in actual importance. His thing is digital distribution, if he wants any chance at success he has to have content to distribute and the only way he's going to get that content is to let the copyright holder incorporate DRM if they so choose.
