Western Digital's 1TB World Edition Hard Drive is DRM-Crippled
A member at Reg Hardware has reported that Western Digital's 1TB My Book World Edition remote-access hard drive does not share media files over network connections. Which is, the entire point behind the World Edition lineup of hard disk drives.
"Due to unverifiable media license authentication, the most common audio and video file types cannot be shared with different users using WD Anywhere Access."Western Digital's list of banned file types encompasses over 35 extensions. This includes AAC, MP3, AVI, DivX, WMV, and Quicktime files. And why not - Windows TMP files too.
