Hello friends at the Magic Café,

After 3 months of "fun and excitement" and learning a LOT about the internet and video, I am proud to announce the release of COSMOS.
:dancing:

I only have one bit of bad news for my Mac friends. In the last 3 days my web master and I have been looking for a solution for the MAC OSX. I'm very sorry to inform you that DRM at this time does not work on the MAC. But, rest assured that over the next few days, we will try our best to get the MAC up and running as well. You're welcome to try using the windows emulator, or the REAL player on the MAC and see if that works for you. If it does please tell me about it. If you are willing to help me with the MAC I will give you a free copy of COSMOS.

I want to extend a big thank you to:

Geoffrey Williams - My web Master and an extraordinary Magician
Bob Kohler - for some great advice, insight, MAC beta testing, and his friendship.
Scott Imler - for letting me bounce these ideas off of him
My sister Sylvia
My brother in law Andrew
my lovely girl friend Talar

And of course I can not forget my great friends here in The Magic Café . . . your support and excitement has really been the DRIVE of my little project.

I hope you all enjoy COSMOS. As always, feel free to contact me about any questions.

take care friends,

Greg Rostami

You're not alone, Mike.

I have 3 friends which got the same answer you got about address and billing mismatch. I wonder if Rostami has double-checked the transaction secure form is actually working as it should, otherwise he runs the risk of potentially losing many customers.
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!

There was a "Contact Greg" link on his website. I also have a question, but his PM Box is full, and the Contact link is gone. I am a patient guy, and I know Greg has to be swamped, so no worries.

Later,
James

I'm getting an error message stating that all licenses have been used up for the month! What is this??? Is anyone else getting this message when playing the vid. I get the error message immediately!

I get the same message. I am assuming that more people bought this than Mr. Rostami expected. He likely hedged his bet and went with 50 free licenses per month (which is what I would have done), and that number has been exceeded. Hoping it is resolved quickly.

I take it from this post that the Digital Rights Management system you decided to use isn't working on the mac at this time so we (who use a mac) can't buy the effect? Smile

I also get this error message... Kinda frusterating that I can't watch the video that I just bought!

I must apologize . . . my webmaster forgot to update the DRM protection to our paid account. He is going to be home shortly. In the mean time I have taken down the website to stop any other orders from being processed.

I'm really really sorry guys. I didn't expect THIS to happen. We should be up and running again tonight.

To all of the people who are getting the expired license error message. I'm going to send you a link to the new files as soon as they are available.

I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight, until this is resolved.

take care . . . and once again I sincerely apologize.

I hope there is a Mac version soon! But, I absolutely *loathe* DRM and tend to stay away from it! I think that DRM is abomination of how content distribution should work. It is a great annoyance as well. For example, could you please answer these questions please:

1) What happens when I'm not connected to the net? Can I still play this video?

2) What happens when your site is down and you can't connect to the DRM server?

3) What happens if I back up this video on a CD and try to play it on my laptop, for example? What happens when I have to reinstall or upgrade my OS?

4) What will happen to this video once your site goes away or you decide to shut it down?

Due to all these issues with DRM, I will not buy your video. DRM is just a nuisance to your paying customer. Also, I can assure you, pirates will find a way to crack your video and post it somewhere... they always do and they will find a way... that's an absolute certainty. What DRM is doing is inconveniencing your paying customers.

If you release this on DVD or as a DRM-free version, I will buy it.

Also, please read this to learn about the pros and cons of DRM and what it can do to your business: http://craphound.com/msftdrm.txt
