Sun's Open Source DRM

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday April 3, 2006 @04:14AM from the get-ready-for-some-resistance dept.

DigDuality writes "Wired has an interesting look at Sun's proposed 'Open Source DRM'. From the article: 'Its goal is to promulgate an open-source architecture for digital rights management that would cut across devices, regardless of the manufacturer, and assign rights to individuals rather than gadgets [...] If DReaM works, consumers will be able to access their purchased songs through a number of providers, and using a wide variety of devices." Slashdot took a first look at Sun's DReaM last August.

Stores have cameras to protect the property in the store; they don't attach a mini-camera to see what you do with products you buy.
**cough** RFID.
