DRM Conference

March 17, 2004

My colleague Bill Rosenblatt of DRMWatch has launched a new conference focused on DRM. This will be held April 12-14 in New York City.

I will be moderating one session, DRM Markets II: E-Publishing, which is described as follows in the conference literature:

DRM has taken hold in a number of niche markets in e-publishing, including e-newspapers, e-zines, and e-books in both trade titles and textbooks. Publishers are de-emphasizing free web content and turning to premium online products. They need to transition their readership to paid products by providing value while also protecting copyright. Learn how top publishers are taking advantage of DRM technologies in their paid content distribution models and what markets they are serving with new DRM-enabled offerings.

You can view all of the conference details and register here.

The panel will include Sanford Bingham, President of FileOpen Systems,
Michele Chaboudy, Chief Marketing Officer of NEWSSTAND, and Jonathan Stowe, Director, New Initiatives, John Wiley & Sons .

In the spirit of shameless self-promotion, let me mention that the DRM book written by Bill, with help from me and Stephen Mooney, is still the best one-stop resource for understanding DRM.
