Take the 2-minute tour ×  Any ideas how I can create a DRM
scheme to protect MP3 files using C++ or perhaps some other
language?  share|improve this question MP3 is (luckily) DRM-
free. If you make a DRM-protected MP3 file, it will not be an
MP3-file anymore, and no application will play it (except
possibly yours). –  Pavel Minaev Aug 16 '09 at 7:52 Please
don't. There are enough broken DRM systems already... What
happens when you no longer support your licence server? And this
has happened repeatedly already... –  Matthew Scharley Aug 16
'09 at 7:59 I don't understand the down-vote on this one. It's a
perfectly valid question. Since the question is rather
technical, religious views on DRM should not affect the answer
or votes. As far as I can see, the question was not regarding
users opinions on DRM. As Pavel Minaev points out, if you
protect a MP3 file with a DRM scheme, no application will likely
play it except yours - which one could say is one of the ideas
behind DRM. –  Tomas Vinter Oct 5 '09 at 7:28  4
