I was at the Digital Media Project in LA, which I found very interesting and informative. I won’t describe it – there is lots of information on it at the DMP website. (ed note. not anymore!) It seems to be trying to straddle the line between the interests of society and content owners. Nevertheless, there still seems to be a “drift” toward the interests of the content owners, to the peril of the entire DRM endeavour. I just saw an article on the difficulties the Japanese broadcast system is having getting people to accept heavily restrictive copy protection on digital TV, a topic that came up at the DMP as an example of a ‘successful’ DRM implementation.
