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.
