[Bug 27055] Surfacing license to the user

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27055

--- Comment #10 from Sergey Konstantinov <twirl-team@yandex.ru> ---
> The license doesn't tell you that. Please read my comments above.

> As to practicability, it is not at all obvious how one would distinguish fraud from legitimate cases where the license restrictions differ from the product restrictions. For example, in streaming services it is likely that a new license is granted each time the content is streamed, so then there is no connection between license restrictions and product restrictions.

> For download cases, one could imagine that a new license is required for each device on which the content is to be played, so then the 'single device' license restriction legitimately differs from the 'multi device' product. Whilst the product may contain a right to view the content in perpetuity, this may still be conditioned on obtaining a new restricted-lifetime license every so often.

This sounds to me just like "current implementations are badly designed". I see
no technical problem in developing appropriate license design which explicitly
tells user that this "session" license applies only to current session /
device. That's still very important to consumer, especially when we talk about
different license terms for different devices. Probably we also should think
about some kind of two-step licenses - some standardized "master" license
describing product restrictions and device- and keysystem-specific "session"
licenses derived from master.
