Talk:Adobe Content Server

Untitled

I found the term "DRM server" in this article confusing. It seems to me that Adobe Content Server is software (latest addition is written in Java to make it compatible with the majority of platforms) that can be used to convert epub files on a server copy protected to comply with copyright laws.

When someone says server I think of a computer specifically used for that purpose, not software written to help manage a particular file type being distributed on a server. I propose the following modification to this page (changes in bold):

Adobe Content Server is DRM software used to add digital rights management to eBooks and developed by Adobe Systems, designed to protect, and distribute Adobe eBooks in PDF or EPUB format through Adobe Digital Editions.[1] Adobe Content Server also works in junction with ADEPT[2], Adobe's hosted version of Content Server. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barryp3403 (talkcontribs) 13:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

That some unknown editor finds it confusing to have "Adobe Content Server" referred to as a DRM server, and thinks of a server as a computer, is not an important fact. Clients connect to servers via ports, channels, etc. Obviously there is not a "computer" at the other end, since one computer can host many different servers, and the clients and servers can even be local to the same machine. No, a server is a piece software that provides managed resources to its clients. -- 96.248.235.14 (talk) 00:32, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
