Getting What You Want?

Problems with Digital Rights Management have been touched on in this blog before, indicating the degree to which I felt it was A Bad Thing And A Bad King. The indexed article suggests that while corporations may feel attracted to DRM, in fact there are a host of practical and technical difficulties which must be overcome. In this case [just like in copy protection], the only people really affected are the honest users, who are crimped in their ability to do things, while the bad guys simply overpower the protection and move on.

One point deserving additional stress mentioned in the article: corporate interest in DRM tends to intensify when a high executive is embarassed by leaked information. Of course, the suggestion that such embarassment is more easily avoided, and with greater social benefit, by simply refraining from the behaviour in the first place is simply too, too silly for words.
