- Sun's Bray joins the inDRMpendence chorus
- In his blog, Sun director of Web technologies Tim Bray has spotlighted my Just say no to DRM series on inDRMpendence. In that blog, Bray offers an alternative meaning for the DRM acronym to the one I've been using Digital Restrictions Management. Bray suggests Damnable Rights-removal Mischief. ...

- We the Sheeple (and other tales of DRM woe)
- This past Friday, I wrote my personal Delcaration of InDRMpendence. It scratches the surface of why we must place a citizens' injunction on Digital Restrictions Management DRM technology before it's too late. If you didn't realize that the "R" in DRM stands for "Restrictions" instead of "Rights,"...

- Are anti-DRM declarations falling on deaf ears?
- Shock and awe is about the only phrase I can come up with to describe the success with which Apple is pushing its Fairplay-laden technology into the marketplace. Fairplay is Apple's form of digital restrictions management and is what keeps content that's purchased from the iTunes Music Store from...

- DRM: Three dirty letters you won't hear in a CES keynote
- Doc Searls pans Paul Otellini's CES presentation of Intel's ViiV for the media cartel it's bound to create: Some of us myself included have been concerned about the DRM capabilities reportedly built into ViiV, but in his presentation Otellini made clear that Viiv has been in...

- Sony Music CDs surreptitiously install DRM Trojan horses on PCs
- Reports are beginning to turn up around the Web that discuss how certain CDs from Sony Music come with a Trojan horse-based digital restrictions management DRM technology that surreptitiously installs itself as a rootkit on Windows PCs. When software surreptitiously installs a rootkit, it's usually doing...

- Apple: Not a DRM monopoly yet, but behavior is monopolistic
- In another blog entry that I published earlier today regarding how something as simple as the playback of one track of a music CD can result in the surreptitious installation of a Digital Restrictions Management DRM Trojan horse on your system, I also discuss how the DRM technology found on...

- DRM technology has its first two major trainwrecks
- Sooner or later, it was bound to happen -- a Digital Restrictions Management DRM management technology that, by design, often keeps you from consuming that content on devices that use other DRM technologies actually ends up keeping you from consuming content that's protected by it as well. Talk...

- Thankfully, Moto's iTunes phone is a market dud
- In one of his recent postings, ZDNet blogger Jason O'Grady considers the reasons that Motorola's ROCKR -- a recently released handset that's been dubbed as the "iTunes phone" -- is getting a cold shoulder from consumers. From my perspective, while it absolutely deserves the cold shoulder, it's getting it...

- No surprise: DRM nightmare rears ugly head. Again.
- If you've never heard of the Digital Living Network Alliance, now is a good time to get hip to it. The DLNA is a multivendor alliance that's promoting the idea of standards-based wireless and wired interoperation of everything from computers to hifi gear to multimedia-enabled phones. The alliance's...

- Sonos responds to Declaration of InDRMpendence
- Sonos responds to Declaration of InDRMpendenceA bit puzzled.Would not an open DRM standard break both the stated and implied purpose of DRM in general? The stated purpose is to prevent piracy. But with a single standard, particularly an open one, is a single point of failure for DRMed...

- Sonos responds to Declaration of InDRMpendence
- Late last week, I was inspired to write a Declaration of InDRMpendence (declaring my freedom from Digital Restrictions Management [DRM] technology) by my good friend who mistakenly recommended Sonos' wireless-mesh based whole home audio system. He was certain that it could play all of the songs he's purchased...

- Dump the DRM? Sign me up!
- I can't disagree at all with David Berlind's Declaration of InDRMpendence. Personally, I buy from iTunes just because I don't have to pay a monthly subscription fee to retain access to the music I have bought -- and because registration of up to five computers is free. But, I had...

- Music buyers step-up downpayment on their own DRM noose
- As I've already written several times before in our series on Digital Restrictions Management DRM, every time one of us buys another piece of DRMed content (eg: a song from iTunes), we are securing the legacy of the DRM cartel while giving it carte blanche to arbitrarily decide how we...

- Is your anti-virus or anti-spyware technology warning you about the Digital Rights Management software on your computer? If not, it should be. It's a Trojan horse of the worst kind.Earlier today, after describing to a close friend the rock and the hard place that I'm between since I...
