The State Of DRM: Is The Customer Right?

,----[ Quote ]
| McSherry says it's that control — not piracy prevention — that's the real 
| goal of Digital Rights Management. Which is why it may be around for a long  
| time.

Stating the Case Against DRM to the FTC

,----[ Quote ]
| Wednesday, EFF Staff Attorney Corynne McSherry will be testifying at the
| Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) town hall meeting on digital rights
| management technologies, or DRM. After years of observing DRM's development,
| suing Sony for its destructive SecuROM DRM, defending free speech for
| researchers and bloggers, and speaking out against DRM's use, EFF's stance is
| quite clear: DRM is harmful to consumers, it undermines competition and
| innovation, and unnecessarily preempts users' fair uses of copyrighted
| content -- all while making no appreciable dent in "digital piracy." In fact,
| generally the only ones who are inconvenienced by DRM are legitimate
| customers.
