Story: Linux 'needs DRM support' for consumer success
Posted by: Free Thinker (Saturday 8 April 2006, 11:45 PM)
There's nothing stopping someone from creating a program (open or closed source) to run DRMed content on Linux. The fact that no one has shows that Linux users don't want it (and the companies that make DRMed contentwon't make one because they don't seem to care about the potential buying power of people that haven't spent a few hundred on an OS, and therefore have more to spend on DVDs/CDs, etc.).
DRM isn't the thing that'll make Linux take off; the only thing that'll make most people that don't currently use Linux consider it is killer games that won't run on Windows.
