Certain Equations are Illegal

Cory Doctorow gave a talk this week at Microsoft. He is asking the company to go back to its roots on the issue of Digital "Rights" Management (aka Digital Restrictions Management), or DRM. He posted the talk on his website. Doctorow tried to persuade Microsoft that:

  • DRM systems don't work
  • DRM systems are bad for society
  • DRM systems are bad for business
  • DRM systems are bad for artists
  • DRM is a bad business move for msft
