DRM article on Linux Journal

Jun.09, 2005 in DRM

This is good: EOF - If You Don’t Believe in DRM, It Can’t Hurt You | Linux Journal:

When I talk to working IT professionals, the trend is to open up information “behind the firewall” at a company-not lock it down. People aren’t worried about how to DRM-ize everything. Instead, I’m seeing enterprise Wikis. “Enterprise Wiki” still sounds funny, but companies with lots of trade secrets are rolling them out. “Edit this Page” adds value, and DRM has the opposite effect.

There are some really good bits here about why DRM is a problem and not a solution.
