DRM and Threat Analysis

miladus writes "A timely and concise intervention by Ed Felten on the topic of DRM and the models used (or not used) to represent the threats to defeat. In brief, 2 models, one based on the potential of large scale redistribution of copyrighted files implying defeat of DRM if one user succeeds in bringing file inquestion to P2P network; the other, refers to the majority of users who would casually copy files. The implications of the schematization are most interesting because they explain some the logic behind the often confused and confusing rhetoric of DRM advocates and the necessity for rational grounding for technologies."

    I'd like to go karma-whoring and leave an interesting comment, but I find I just don't care about DRM right now. Funny, that.
