No. There are two entirely different DRM systems named Widevine. Up to version 6.0 was old legacy DRM from way back. Widevine 7.0 is the current version, published only a few years back, also called Widevine Modular. This is a modern cutting-edge DRM equivalent to Microsoft PlayReady and Apple FairPlay. Together, these 3 make up the big DRMs in the industry.


Oh OK, stopped following DRM after that job! :) Fun tidbit: We did the first commercial deployment globally of PlayReady for Samsung's galaxy devices US launch. MS paid Samsung to use it.
