          AndyChow - It's for DRM (Digital Restrictions Management). Your own data won't be protected, don't worry.

              I wish DRM would die. I want to listen to my purchased music, not be filled with this crap.

                I guess they stopped working on it because GNOME and KDE have EGLStreams support now.

                    Once again, I repeat, I did not mean "it is mine". I only purchased it, so "a copy of it is mine". (by this, I mean the ability to listen the copy)
