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?

Open DRM is an oxomoron

You can fool some of the people all the time or all of the people sometimes but never sometimes some of the people. Yes, I am talking about The People whom you are trying to restrict. I know that when Apple has DRM we can ignore it but come on, Sun isn't nearly as cool as my Mini Mac! Wake up people. There is no such thing as "open" Digital Restrictions Mandatory. No way. It's cool that Holland in Europe blocks DRM in Euro Congress but this is not enough. DRM in the US is harmful for everyone because where is Hollywood? In the US. We can't let THIS happen.
