    Really?

    Sounds a bit daft.

    We always used to copy vinyl records and CDs onto tapes to listen to the on the Walkman or in the car.

    (don't moan that tapes were crap because we didn;t have a CD player or an MP3 player in the early 90s)

    Another example of why DRM doesn't work:

    "Google is shutting down its premium video service, leaving users who have bought or rented content unable to view their videos in the future."

    The danger of anything that is online signature protected, which is why I only use something that can be cracked! We may own a license now but what happens if the company goes bust or discontinues a product?

    This is much like in the future, the MMOs of today will be lost to history and unlike retro gaming of today we won't be able to load them up in years to come to experience them as part of history as their parent component will be long gone.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
