EVENT DETAIL
DRM: Digital Rights Management or Digital "Restrictions" -
DRM in the wake of the Sony "Rootkit" controversy
Tuesday, April 11, 2006 6-7:30 pm
A panel of intellectual property law and DRM experts will discuss this emerging field, and how to balance the competing legal interests of consumers, rights holders, and other actors and intermediaries.
Among the questions to be addressed by the panel, after presentation of a DRM "mini-tutorial," will be:
- What is the proper relationship between DRM and "fair use" rights?
- Should any DRM standards be mandatory, and what present efforts are being made to require DRM in various systems?
- What standards of consumer disclosure should accompany DRM software and limitations posed by it?
