Roger Mc Namee: Entropy - The Role of Digital Rights Management

Great feature on DRM on Roger's blog - worth reading 4 sure.
" Digital rights management is not the worst thing going on in the entertainment industry, but it may be a proxy for the technology problems facing the industry.  You may recall the fable from medieval times about the kingdom that lost a war because its king was killed in battle; the king was killed because his horse lost a shoe; the horseshoe fell off because it was lacking a single nail.  The lesson: for want of a nail, the war was lost.  If it turns out that the media industry loses out in the technology wars, the preoccupation with DRM may turn out to be the nail...."  Roger's new book is worth a read, too.
