About this site

For six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul

Google kills paid Google Videos, open DRM Pandora's Box

Big deal, right? Well check out the fine print:

After August 15, 2007, you will no longer be able to view your purchased or rented videos.

What??

This is, of course, the nightmare of DRM come to life. Even content that you "purchase" (i.e. not rented content) isn't actually owned by you and it can be taken away. Sorry, but that's ludicrous.
