Playback or streaming protected content within Windows Media Player or Silverlight clients will no longer be possible.
Dozens will be affected!
Wow, I forgot about Silverlight.
I convinced my parent company like 10 years ago to stop the push to Silverlight. We were a .NET shop so it made certain sense and we were basically writing apps, but I had to tell them that MS was killing it and it was better to stick to web apps.
I suppose VLC will still work?
Nope, not the DRM locked media
Just go to your favorite pirate site and download a DRM free copy. You already paid for a copy that microsoft just took away your ability to play.
Absolutely, DRM is bullshit. Even Apple stopped using it - and not just for iTunes but also for streaming downloads.
you will own nothing…
