Be Wary of Digital Rights Management (DRM)

Posted on 16-Jan-2005

I have just been reading an article in which Bill Gates is justifying the introduction of digital rights management into Windows Media Centre. In essence he is saying that the content producers own the Intellectual Property (IP) and can put whatever rights they like on it. If there are no restrictions the the Media Centre will play the content, but if the producer has put restrictions on it using DRM, then the media centre will respect those rights.
