Dumb question: why not use PGP encryption as a DRM by toysbfun2008-01-17 15:05:15
  Because there are better ways. by AndyA 2008-01-17 15:16:05
PGP is a generic encryption system. Something specifically aimed at media DRM is going to be more efficient.

Either way DRM rarely fails because the encryption is easy to crack.

It fails because someone screws up and either make the encryption key public or does something which dramatically reduces the complexity of working out the key.
