DRM and No DRM option in ACS??

Hi,
We are into providing Digital Publishing Services and as well bringing out our eBook reader devices (with adobe drm).
We are evaluating whether ACS 4 be adopted or not for our packaging and delivery system.
Ofcourse ACS is leading among  its competitors. But there are some points on which I need your suggestions or opinions.
As per the quotes Adobe charge $0.22 per non-expirable license as well for expiring license of more than 60 days.
For Publishers this is not a bad option. They can easily make their file, package and even deliver it to the book stores they allow. They can easily afford.
But here come my question: There are many individual/very small groups who want to sell their book/notes for free. Adobe ACS is excellent delivey system. Not only this, delivering through ACS will help them as it provides users the ability to sync between their authorized devices as all the download are managed by adobe id.
How can we tackle this. Does the ACS also offer "No DRM" option just delivery. If it can it will be definetly be great as then both the worlds can co- exist and those who prefer monetizing can go for transaction fee for security and those who just want to reach out public can have the best delivery system and centralized user experience provided by ADOBE.

Is Airport an option when you try to add a new Network interface in System Preferences?

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
    SeaGate  http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

The DRM protected content is opened in Safari where the DRM is decrypted and the video is played. iOS 8 issue In iOS 8 Apple device has NOT enabled Safari based DRM decryption. Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple. We do not have any estimated date when Safari will support DRM decryption of iTunes purchased content.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

It appears that Apple finally fixed an issue they had with their movie DRMs. The files should have never played in the first place.

  • DRM and Shared Members in Essbase & Planning

    Hi,
    Many years ago we implemented Razza and one of the difficulties we had was in handling shared members in Essbase and Planning applications. The workaround as I recall was to use a prefix in alternate hierarchies, and strip it out before exporting. But this did not allow for a single place to maintain a node. Is there a best practice for handling shared members in DRM?
    Thanks!

    DRM now supports shared members in the application. This application functionality used configurable suffixes. You can read about this in the DRM User Guide.
    This makes Essbase integration virtually seemless since Essbase will treat the first occurance of a member encountered during the dimension load process as the base member and any subsequent occurances of that member as shared members. Planning, however, requires shared members to be marked as such and thus depending on how the hierarchies are maintained in DRM and then exported, it is possible for the shared member to appear before the base member, which will cause Planning to raise an error. This can be accommodated with two pass loads and other techniques.
    Also note that this information could be dated as I haven't personally been on a project that fed hyperion Planning for a couple of years. Regards.

  • OMA DRM and Flash Media Server

    Hi,
    I'm curious that if Flash Media Rights Management Server
    support OMA DRM and\or WMDRM. Does Flash Media Enconding Server
    also encrypts videos to support oma drm or wmdrm?
    Or by meaning DRM, Adobe means he has his own way to protect
    the content holder rights by using different protocols and other
    things and it does not secure the video file but it secure how the
    video file is transmitted and seen (by preventing video or audio
    being sniffed and/or ripped).
    thank you for your time

    But it would be so cool, if Flash Lite 2.0 could communicate
    with FMS. Just think about how many applications could be done with
    FMS...

  • Adobe reader, DRM, and Firefox-

    Hi,
    I have a book for sale through a site developed by myself and a website designer. The pdf for the book is optimized for Adobe. I have digital rights management (DRM) in place. Recently, I have come to understand that Firefox and Chrome have readers on them that allow all DRM to be defeated or circumvented. Is this so? And is there a way - maybe a plug-in or an add-on - to keep the Adobe DRM in force or effect even when the Firefox or Chrome reader is being used?
    Many thanks,
    holtmb

    That assumes you have DRM, and not a "half baked security solution" as some things have been called.
    For instance, some people propose security based on JavaScript. Since some viewers ignore JavaScript, they aren't even bypassing DRM, but the effect is the same.
    Similarly, as Acrobat warns you, not all products honour Acrobat security settings. Some developers consider copy protection evil.
    But true DRM will require specific software and won't be readable at all by other viewers.

  • My iPhone will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings. I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing

    My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.
