What we’ve all been waiting for, folks —
DRM for
Silverlight
Whoopee...
It had to happen sometime: Microsoft announced…DRM is making its way onto the Silverlight platform, powered by none other than the company’s elusive PlayReady content access technology.
Silverlight, Microsoft’s cross-platform answer to Adobe’s Flash, was unveiled last year just two months after their PlayReady “cross platform” DRM was announced.
This announcement no doubt plays into NBC’s broadcasting of the 2008 Summer Olympics on its Web site through Microsoft’s Silverlight technology. For the 17-day event, the official site will broadcast an estimated 2,200 hours of programming with features such as event scheduling with pop-up reminders and picture-in-picture viewing.
Progress in technology led by Microsoft.
