Microsoft Research DRM Talk
Long, but worth the read, is this transcript of Cory Doctorow’s [of the Electronic Frontier Foundation] talk originally given to Microsoft’s Research Group and other interested parties from within the company at their Redmond offices on June 17, 2004. You can read the full text here.
Here’s what I’m here to convince you of:
1. That DRM systems don’t work
2. That DRM systems are bad for society
3. That DRM systems are bad for business
4. That DRM systems are bad for artists
5. That DRM is a bad business-move for MSFT
