READ MORE Artists like NIN and Radiohead are releasing whole albums for free, DRM-free Amazon is giving iTunes a run for its money, no one buys CDs that may or may not have DRM on them, and Napster has just bet the farm on MP3s. By all accounts the battle against music DRM has been won, but what about the DRM war against the rest of our media? As Bluray gets comfortable with some of the most restrictive DRM in history and Microsoft Vista struggles with convincing its customers what exactly its features are, we should be taking a hard look how we access media. Join us for a discussion on new DRM technologies, recent circumvention attempts, and ruminations on the nature of the beast. New Technology / Next Generation
