Here’s an interesting read about digital rights management..
“Written by Cory Doctorow, a chap at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the lecture was given recently to Microsoft emlpoyees, and makes a very good read (with many good points) on why Microsoft should stop their ‘dally’ into Digital Rights Management. Cory bases his argument around these points :
1. That DRM systems don’t work
2. That DRM systems are bad for society
3. That DRM systems are bad for business
4. That DRM systems are bad for artists
5. That DRM is a bad business-move for Microsoft”
