[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 15871, member: 172"] Re: A question for computer genius' DRM does little to prevent files from being copied, but instead prevents said copies from being read by an ''unauthorized'' device. Copying files on a computer filesystem is impossible to prevent if the user has read permissions to the file in question and write permissions on the filesystem. And with CDs and DVDs, it's trivially easy to create a bit-for-bit duplicate of a disk, copy protection and all. You may have some luck with a web-based solution, where the content is online behind a login. [/QUOTE]
