Open Source DRM Solutions?

Posted by kdawson on from the using-the-force-for-good dept.

Feint writes "I'm working on an business platform for inter-company collaboration based on an open source software stack. As part of that platform I would like to integrate some sort of digital rights management for the documents in the system. The vast majority of articles about DRM are focused how good or evil it is to apply DRM to digital music or video. I haven't seen many articles address open source solutions for protecting business data like CAD / MS Office / PDF / etc. documents, which is a real need in business today. Can the Slashdot readership suggest some open source DRM offerings other than the Sun DReaM initiative, which hasn't had a release since Jan. 2007?"

    I know of one DRM system that is totally open. You can put any document in it that you want. They have a website at http://goatse.cz/ that shows all of the great things about DRM.

    What a pompous fool. If you want to spike your crap with digital AIDS, go ahead. I wasn't planning on using it, but now that you add Digital Restrictions Malware to it, I'll make sure to pirate it.
