| | Digital rights management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | DRM provisions have appeared in released versions of some subsystems of the Microsoft Windows operating system (e.g., Windows Media Player) and are scheduled in more as Palladium is implemented in currently planned, not yet released, versions of Microsoft Windows. | | | DRM controls are sometimes proposed to be enforced through so-called trusted computing. | | | DRM is vulnerable to an additional class of attacks due to its need to be run on tamper-resistant hardware (DRM systems that do not run on tamper-resistant hardware cannot ever be theoretically secure since digital content can be copied on a hardware level). |

| | digital rights management - a Whatis.com definition - see also: DRM, DMR |
| | DRM products were developed in response to the rapid increase in online piracy of commercially marketed material, which proliferated through the widespread use of Napster and other peer-to-peer file exchange programs. | | | DRM technology focuses on making it impossible to steal Web content in the first place, a much surer approach to the problem than the hit-and-miss strategies aimed at apprehending online poachers after the fact. | | | In general, DRM products are turnkey packages that include everything needed for the operation, such as, for example, server software and user plug-ins. |

| | Mindjack - The State of Digital Rights Management |
| | DRM is a late twist on an old paradigm. | | | The law or DRM suggests the latter as an alternative mechanism to copyright law, which requires thinking of computer code as effective code. | | | Less sophisticated versions of DRM encrypt their content, aimed at a compliant device, while more advanced, permissions-based systems require a secure environment (what Princeton Computer Scientist Edward Felten calls a black box) to drive a license request system. |

| | Their DRM agreement allows them to burn X copies to CD and they can authorize X computers for use. | | | In recent weeks we have moved DRM Blog and in the move it is possible that some comments might have been lost. | | | Thus DRM slows the adoption of new technology by users who no longer see the upgrade as attractive when its paired with its DRM limitations and increased hardware expenditures. |

| | DRM is the software equivalent of these closed hardware interfaces. | | | Scoble argued that Microsoft's music was a sounder investment, because Microsoft would have more downstream licensees for its proprietary format and therefore you'd have a richer ecosystem of devices to choose from when you were shopping for gizmos to play your virtual records on. | | | Microsoft has sunk a lot of capital into DRM systems, and spent a lot of time sending folks like Martha and Brian and Peter around to various smoke-filled rooms to make sure that Microsoft DRM finds a hospitable home in the future world. |

| | For example, a DRM trading protocol is under development in the OpenEBook Forum's Rights and Rules Working Group for ebook vendors [OEBF]. | | | In designing and implementing DRM systems, there are two critical architectures to consider. | | | Additionally, it is important to note that DRM is the "digital management of rights" and not the "management of digital rights". |

| | Gilbane Report Blog: Is Anyone Still Talking about DRM Transactional Infrastructure? |
| | There is a great amount of work left to do to bring DRM into the enterprise, and while some pieces of the puzzle are in place or on their way, I wonder if the lack of working generalized trust environments remains the missing necessary piece for all sorts of “content governance” implementations. | | | The good news is that the DRM approach to security, compliance, and business process integration of content is theoretically flexible and applicable—arguably the best single strategy to show up to date. | | | However, apart from some limited examples—Authentica and Adobe come to mind—there’s still not much in the way of DRM “editorial interfaces” (i.e., rules definition and association) for content management. |

| | EPIC, EFF Letter to the House Jud. Subcom. on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property on DRM |
| | DRM limits consumers' ability to use open source software. DRM schemes and laws that require embedding copy protection into devices endanger the development of open-source software. | | | DRM weakens consumers' "fair use" rights. Fair use is an evolving concept and probably can never be defined precisely by code. | | | No DRM scheme developed affords users these rights. |

| | Fair Use and DRM |
| | If DRM systems are to preserve fair use, they must somehow preserve its ambiguity, its ability to evolve and embrace as yet unrealized uses of copyrighted works. | | | With these earlier examples in mind, we can better understand the threat that DRM technologies pose to the future of fair use. | | | Until the DRM technology exists to support such a "single-viewing" version, however, the public can only obtain the $30 DVD. |

| | InterTrust also wrote an interesting white paper that compared various approaches to DRM interoperability, which essentially said that it's not possible to achieve it through standards alone; yet Coral intends to create standards to solve the problem. | | | We suspect that the most important lasting legacy of DMP, at least from the work it has generated thus far, is its list of TRUs along with their precise definitions. | | | One is XrML from ContentGuard, which Microsoft uses in its DRM implementations (Microsoft now owns approximately one-third of ContentGuard); XrML formed the basis for MPEG REL but is not the same language. |

| | Russell Beattie Notebook » Microsoft’s Consumer Electronics Endgame |
| | It’s amazing to see history repeating itself, no? Apple lost the PC desktop because it refused to license its Graphical User Interface and now they’re going to lose the Consumer Electronics market because they’ve failed to license their FairPlay DRM technology. | | | Motorola, Samsung and others have Windows Mobile devices, so they get to play in this sandbox. | | | That’s when I saw the big picture: Microsoft’s DRM strategy and Windows Media WMA codec are going to allow them to have a massive advantage in the consumer electronics market, which includes everything from MP3 players, to mobile phones to your set-top box, to a host of other converged devices. |

| | Some companies that play both sides of the fence - owning content and making machines to use it - find themselves in an awkward position. | | | Very visible signs of this split include: the strong lobbying for and against "the Hollings Bill", a/k/a the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act (S.2048; CBDTPA); the struggle over implementing the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), which penalizes those who circumvent copy protection; the escalating arms race over Digital Rights Management (DRM). | | | From Hollywood's perspective, billions of dollars are at stake in the struggle, with peer-to-peer piracy threatening to erode video sales and make movie theaters a less attractive option. |
