    As for sharing within Home Group, I think Ben Draw from EHD had said the DRM doesn’t have support for domains, and that’s why this doesn’t work.

    That is incorrect.  PlayReady does support domains.  I’ve actually used it in a product before in this way.  It is the implementation used in this scenario that does not.  I can hopedream that it will be extended to HomeGroup at some point..

    [quote]Q. What are the key features of Microsoft PlayReady?

    A. Microsoft PlayReady technology supports a wide range of audio and video formats, including Windows Media Audio (WMA), Windows Media Video (WMV), Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), AAC+, enhanced AAC+, and the H.263, and H.264 video codecs. It also moves beyond audio and video to support games, images, and ringtones. In addition, it supports many business models for content, including purchased downloads, subscription, rental, preview, and pay-per-view. [b]Because it supports domains and embedded licenses, PlayReady can also enable more seamless scenarios for consumers to enjoy protected content on multiple devices.[/b]

    These features are crucial components for mobile operators, handset vendors, and content services who desire to deliver an expanding range of entertainment-focused content, services and devices—both now and in the future.[/quote]
