Reminder - What are DRMs ?Reminder - What are DRMs ?

• Systems that replicate and extend existing methods of control of rights for digital media

• DRMs define rights to content through a rights model• DRMs enforce the granting of rights through:

– Legal tools including license agreement, copyright notices, registration, and EU and international copyright laws,

– Audit trails, including, IP address tracking, and watermarking.

– Technological measures including encryption, user authentication and conditional access.

Where are DRMs applied?Where are DRMs applied?

• Typical DRMs are B2C or B2B models• Video Content (package & streamed)• Audio Content (package & streamed)• Computer Software (professional, consumer & games etc)• Electronic Publishing (eBooks, news, entertainment,

business Intelligence etc)• Educational (training programmes, open learning etc)

Who is working on DRM Standards? (1)Who is working on DRM Standards? (1)

• DOI Digital Object Identifier• Method for identifying content

objects.• similar to ISBN / SKU numbers for

books / retail goods.• Created in 1996, now managed by

International DOI foundation.• Increasing numbers of Publishers

and DRM application developers use DOI.

• Xerox PARC defined comprehensive rights model (mid-90’s)

• Embodied in Digital Property Rights Language (DPRL).

• Xerox spin-off - ContentGuard Inc. • Enhancement of DPRL.• XrML – Extensible Rights Markup

Language - rights-focused extension to XML meta-language.

• Adopted by MEG21 – needs simplification / rework

• Open Digital Rights Language – a Digital Rights Management expression language and data dictionary

• vocabulary for terms and conditions over digital content including permissions, constraints, obligations, conditions, offers and agreements with rights holders.

• ODRL positioned to be extended by different industry sectors (eg; ebooks, music, audio, mobile, software)

• ODRL targeted at being a core interoperability language.

• freely available - no licensing requirements• Adopted by MPEG21 along with XrML

What is the Current Status for DRMs ?What is the Current Status for DRMs ?

• DRM Systems offer solutions by enabling right owners to make digital content available in a secure manner, and to receive remuneration.

• Industry has robust effective & flexible DRMs• Speed of uptake and interoperability of DRMs is an

issue

Open issues: Europe-China?Open issues: Europe-China?

• Is IPR applicable in the same legal framework in both States?

• Is local law dealing with foreign companies/artists rights on the SAME way as dealing with the local parties?

• Has been the Berne convention mutually signed in the SAME way between Europe and China and if not what are, still, opening point of discussion?

Business / Market Issues for DRMsBusiness / Market Issues for DRMs

• Uptake rate of DRM solutions and volume of protected content must both increase.

• Confidence in DRM solutions must increase.• Right business models must exist in order to earn

consumer confidence in DRM solutions• Interoperability will secure significant increase in all the

above aspects.

Technology Issues for DRMsTechnology Issues for DRMs

• DRM technologies offer means to manage and control content delivery and to protect content.

• DRMs need to be as robust as reasonably possible• No system can be totally perfect, and DRMs may be

hacked.• Key tools to fight hackers and professional pirates are

adequate legislation with appropriate sanctions and strong enforcement

• Interoperability is essential in some form, but currently mandated technology standards may harm innovation and competition, undermining move to flexible solutions expected by consumers and right owners.
