McCullagh and Homsi on DRM Laws

Posted by Ernest Miller

Declan McCullagh has co-authored a paper on DRM with Milana Homsi (New Article on Digital Rights Management: Survey of Laws and Their Problems).

Read the 12-page paper: Leave DRM Alone: A Survey of Legislative Proposals Relatingto Digital Rights Management Technology and Their Problems [PDF].

The article basically condemns any law that would mandate or inhibit DRM in favor of a DRM state of nature. The article does support DMCA reform to level the playing field for DRM.

For the government to remain truly neutral on DRM, of course, section 1201 of the DMCA would have to be modified to permit circumvention unless it is being done as part of an actual act of copyright infringement.
