Is DRM Emerging Again?

September 9, 2003

Seybold has more about Digital Rights Management than I thought it might, given the relative softness in the market. Bill Rosenblatt did an all-day intensive yesterday, and has an excellent keynote session scheduled for tomorrow, The Great Digital Copyright Debate.

Bill has lined up excellent speakers for this:

--Joe Kraus, Co-founder, Digitalconsumer.org

--Tim O'Reilly, Founder & President, O'Reilly & Associates

--Dean Marks, Senior Vice President, Intellectual Property, Corporate Business Development and Strategy, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

Bill himself is a great moderator and speaker, and this is a stellar lineup. It should be a great session.

It's interesting, though most likely a coincidence, that Microsoft last week announced availability of their Windows Rights Management client. A number of people see Microsoft's Rights Management Services as a springboard for a lot of development. Perhaps Microsoft's client application will get some traction, and fuel more development of DRM solutions.
