Riiight. Until they, like EA, decide to shut down the servers. Or decide you aren't worthy of having your cake and eating it too. No thanks, I will stick with my OWN hard drives, but thank you for playing.
And I love how they keep referring to us in an ecological context.. "Consumers" instead of "Customers". In other words, we're on par with animals. Hence the term, Sheeple.
Fail.

Or decide you don't run an "approved" system packed full of their drm and spyware.

*snicker*
A consumer CONSUMES what he gets..a CUSTOMER OWNS what he gets. See the writing on the wall? Use THEIR backup servers!? Spindles and discs don't crash. Nor do they have ''logos'' and all the CRAP that will be coded into the hardware with said ''logo''!

None of the things they want to achieve are possible without extensive drm schemes all over not just our computers but seemingly everything electronic. Possibly embedded into future operating systems... Or coded into the hardware... Ah well. More interesting challenges for hackers. And it will be broken. That's just how it is.

Isn't this similar to the "Stream" model? Stream seems to be doing pretty good and people on this forum like it.
This actually seems like a good idea. Think about it:
Buy it once then play it on anything these companies make. If it is popular idea, more companies will be on board and more products will be made.
And before you anti-drm people start screaming, you can download it on a disc and remove any drm that is on it.
But then again, this is my speculation based on the article. Let us all see how it is implemented before we dismiss it so quickly.
This might be a step in the right direction for the media companies to move from their "dead business model".

We are trying to come up with a standard and uniform way to screw you all so nobody can say this or that DRM is better or worse than the other.

I might be a move to have fair use without copying anything copyrighted. Most people would want the back up.

Well think about it you buy a Movie and can back it up and if your computer goes down, there is a Fire, want to move to a new device you can and without the hassle of several CD's or DvD's. Cellular Internet is getting cheaper and cheaper so imagine a car Mp3 player that can Download all of your legally purchased music and you dan't have to worry about a thing. However if they go to the only 2 devices per song/Movie that would really suck. I can also see the AEM scheme comming out of this soon.

Hey give them a LITTLE bit of credit...
They're finally starting to follow the recommendations made by the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) as well as other internet analysts... which is, basically, make the legal service better than the illegal one.
If I had a full library of DRM-free reliable media I could download legally for, say, $14.99/mo (what I pay for most MMOs) I would jump on it and uninstall every last BitTorrent, IRC, and Newsgroup peice of software I have. (which would also free up ALOT of space ^_^)
But until then...

Good one Hardwyre. Many of us are too militant to recognise the good in some of these ideas. Although we have good reason to be militant, we do not need to be as ignorant and one-sided as 'the enemy'.
