[ILUG-Cochin.org] DRM in School

[Jos Collin]

Hi,

The management of Mary Matha High School, Thrikkakkara. is planning to
create  VCDs of their anniversary programme, which has DRM in it. They are
planning to sell these VCDs to their own students. These VCDs can be played
in video players and computers but the users are restricted to copy or rip
the VCD. Previous  year they have done the same but it was a failure because
those VCDs, which they have created was not working in some vedio players.
But this time, I heard, they are trying to find an efficient method to
create VCDs, which has a perfect DRM.

I don't want to disclose the source of this news to you. But it is true. I
verified it. I believe that this type of nasty things can happen in other
schools too. So is it possible for ILUG to do something to prevent this
activity? Is it possible to conduct a DRM AWARENESS session at Mary Matha so
that the students can escape from DRM?
