Digital Rights Management (DRM)
12:25 PM EDT 5/27/05
This article actually cuts across several topics, but the main thrust seems to be on DRM:

I am a Lessig fan, but I hadn't seen this stimulating article. "The People Own Ideas!" --the title says it all.
He's recounting his experience of the [url http://www.forumsocialmundial.org.br/index.php?cd_language=2 ]2005 World Social Forum[/url] in Brazil, attended by over 100,000 people (!) as a counterpoint to the more exclusive World Economic Forum.
In the "free software lab" set up for the event, Lessig has the revelation that it was not so much about free software options, as it was about how to help people "build free culture using free software." This is definitely worth a read of all 9 pages, if you can <irony>ignore all of the flashing banner ads.</irony>

David Berlind of ZDNet has a pretty strong opinion about DRM, which he mainly refers to as Digital Restrictions Management (or recently, Digital Ripoff Management). He has been writing a series of blogs about issues that he (or others) have encountered with DRM. Obviously, the focus is a little different than a public library's, but it has been interesting. Here are a few:
"Declaration of InDRMpendence" http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=1952
"DRM technology has its first two major trainwrecks" http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=2083
"Sony Music CDs surreptitiously install DRM Trojan horses on PCs" http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=2092&tag=nl.e539
