MTV has launched a beta version of their new broadband digital entertainment service called MTV Overdrive. Using the service, you are able to download the latest news, music, live performances, short form shows and music videos directly to your PC. All of the media is DRM protected. As the site describes:

Quote:

The videos on MTV Overdrive are encoded in Microsoft Windows Media 10 format to insure the maximum possible video quality. In order to offer you a broad selection of full-length music videos on-demand and free of charge, MTV Overdrive uses Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect the videos from unauthorized re-distribution. Unfortunately, Microsoft’s Windows Media Player Plug-in for Macintosh does not currently support DRM. When DRM support becomes available for Macintosh, MTV Overdrive will work to support Macintosh.

I think MTV is pretty late on this. There's been about 4 site that I know of and can remember that already is doing this. The only way I can seeing this even being different is if you can save the videos you watch/want.

MTVB will have the MTV drones to drive its service, and as I understand, you should be able to save, but the saved file will only ever play on your computer

You can always just convert it so it can play on anything. Yes I know this is going to get into a debate about permission and stuff like that but still alot of people are going to do it anyway.
