What would an “interoperable” or “open source” DRM system look like?
,----[ Quote ]
| Readers of this blog have the tools they need to evaluate some interesting
| industry initiatives. The major motion picture studios are trying to devise
| an Open Market scheme to make DRM systems interoperable, and Sun wants to
| offer an “Open Source DRM” via their Project DReaM of the Open Media Commons.
|
| We’ve discussed the technical and legal underpinnings of these DRM systems:
|
| * Device manufacturers and/or software authors use locked down
| hardware/software which implement “use control” technological measures
| * Copyright holder (or someone they authorize) encodes the copyrighted
| content in an “access control” technological measure which makes the
| content only interoperable with authorized devices (i.e. devices with
| required decryption keys)

| over the news, and it has been a long time in coming. Yes, there’s the talk
| that iTunes is in danger, but now that the DRM demon has been slain for
| music, video should be next!
