Nokia Licenses Microsoft PlayReady DRM

Aug 6, 2007, 10:08 AM by (staff)

Nokia has expanded its licensing contracts with Microsoft to include its PlayReady digital rights management technology. Future S60 and Series 40 phones will support PlayReady, which should ease the difficulty of transferring game, music, video and ringtone content between devices such as phones and PCs. PlayReady is compatible with most standard media formats, and is backward compatible with previous Widows DRM content. The first range of new devices with PlayReady on board will be available in 2008.

Can't this whole DRM thing just go away?

By 2008 I would have hoped this silly DRM thing would have gone away. Buy DRM-free players and boycott ones like this - you know you're paying a fee for that DRM license and all the liabilities Nokia has to insure against right?

I agree!!!! DRM is like a pad lock. Very ineffective if you have bolt cutters!! DRM get broken days after being released. When will it end???
