Comment on Mac App Store DRM broken (Here's how)parent

Comments

Simple obvious holes in their DRM solution, even if it is an implementors fault, damage their branding and the perceived value of their app store to businesses. My take on it is, even if it is the developers fault for failing to program their system correctly, it is in Apples best interest to perform some basic validation to prevent the DRM being perceived as useless (even though that's not the case).

Lastly, if the DRM scheme is so dependent on a the 3rd party app to function correctly, it seems like a failed system design.
