So You Want To Be Digital Rights Manager




I’m on the side of the supporters of DRM because I believe in property rights. The ability of someone to profit from their own work is primary to our fundamental rights. I’m not unsympathetic to inconvenience some folks complain about regarding sharing of music. But rights of the producers of content greatly outweighs the inconvenience.
Steve Jobs makes a very convincing case for DRM regarding itunes. The ability to share music with 5 computers and unlimited ipods seems perfectly fair to me. but of course, I could be wrong.
