Sun Spearheads Open DRM

Steve from Hexus writes "If DRM is the future of controlling our media files, then perhaps the open source community can at the very least ensure that the dominant delivery system is an open standard. Hexus.net reports that Sun is spearheading a new open DRM project, which their lab workers and the open source community can contribute to. More information on project DReaM can be found at the Open Media Commons website." Tough call - DRM is coming (Or is already here), one way or another, and is better to work on creating something done right, or to object to it on moral grounds?

Am I the only one that read that as Project D-Ream? Isn't that what DRM will do to us?

It would be like being asked to build a prison that is going to be used to lock you in.

I think if I was going to be in a prison, I'd rather it was one I'd built. I don't know about you but I'm pretty hopeless at bricklaying. That's without "Oh dear, I appear to have not mixed this mortar properly. Ah well, wouldn't want to waste it...".
