This article seems very anti-DRM, in particular the use of the word "infests". Could someone please clean it up and neutralize it? — Wereon July 1, 2005 20:33 (UTC)
Any normal person is against drm. that’s like reading an article on burglary and saying “this article seems anti burglary” RJS001 ( talk) 23:20, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
I also realised that when i read it, agreed... i changed it.
Corical.
Under the (badly titled) 'symptoms' section, it states that: "On Nokia Series 40 phones an installed file with DRM will not have its "Send" option greyed out in its options menu." Is this correct? It would suggest that the DRM method is ineffectual if that were the case (and therefore hardly a 'symptom' of DRM).
I don't believe it true that ringtones have the .asp file extension with OMA DRM 1. I suggest this might be to do with the download being served from an active server page script (e.g. which does the OMA DRM 1.0 wrapping) and I suppose it possible some mobile phones look at the download URL to derive the filename. You'd probably get the same result if you downloaded a non-DRM files from an active server page. OMA DRM itself defines file extensions .dcf and .odf
Really? Has that extension not been somewhat spoken for? Is it possible that the author of this particular section may only have experience in a MS/.Net environment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.125.133.87 ( talk) 22:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
The applictaion renaming hack don't work on Nokia Series 40 with Java 2.0 because the files just do not exist in the manager. What is more, one cannot copy JAR file by BT FTP because it denies access. In short DRM is work of satan because it bans redistributing free software on mobile-to-mobile level. They should have make option for the author of program to disable DRM in app. The most appropriate place is "manifest.mf" packed in JAR file. 81.190.107.29 ( talk) 18:19, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
In my opinion the "criticism" section lacks of objectiveness and even contains serious misunderstandings. For example Java mobile applications are called "midlets" not "applets"; it is not possible to forward native applications on Symbian smartphones because the original installation package is digitally signed and not preserved after installation; it is not true that you can not send non forward locked applications on all phones, etc. This paragraph anyway completely lacks any references. It should not encourage illegal activities (any kind of workaround for DRM protection) as well. 89.96.108.176 ( talk) 23:05, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
“It should not encourage illegal activities (any kind of workaround for DRM protection) as well“ That’s your own (poorly formed imo) feelings on the matter. RJS001 ( talk) 23:19, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
I performed the long-requested copy edit on this page. I reformatted it to be more readable. I removed some of the acronym overgrowth. I changed some phrasing that was loaded ( WP:NPOV). I deleted the section about hacking certain phones, because it was a how-to guide; Wikipedia is not an instruction manual, such information belongs on another site, not in an encyclopedia. (See WP:NOTMANUAL for some ideas.) I see that the article has out-of-date information, no references, and delves into supposition at times. It'd be great if a subject matter expert could revise the article. // ⌘macwhiz ( talk) 01:35, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
