MIT Faculty and Libraries Refuse DRM; SAE Digital Library Canceled
,----[ Quote ]
| SAE's DRM technology severely limits use of SAE papers and
| imposes unnecessary burdens on readers. With this technology,
| users must download a DRM plugin, Adobe?s "FileOpen," in order
| to read SAE papers. This plugin limits use to on-screen viewing
| and making a single printed copy, and does not work on Linux
| or Unix platforms.

| that music industry executives are finally thinking with their
| senses and not with their ill-fated techno-paranoid logic.
