Nowhere Tech
Digital Rights Management Elusive
In a recent report, high-tech market research firm, In-Stat/MDR notes that there has been little tangible progress in the deployment of viable DRM solutions.
More specifically, the content development industry, which consists of the recording industry and the movie studios, has repeatedly emphasized the need for immediate DRM solutions that stop all unauthorized copying and distribution. Meanwhile, the information technology industry is emphasizing that DRM solutions should support the concept of "fair use," which allows consumers to make copies of some types of copyrighted content for their own personal use. In the US, these disagreements have led to an increase in both DRM-related lawsuits and new legislative initiatives.
However, despite a lack of progress in curbing actual content piracy, there have been some significant attitude changes that may ultimately improve cooperation between the two industries.
