'Open Source DRM' vs. Free Software: RMS, Lessig in Register

The Register is running a nice, long article on Free Software and DRM. It has Richard Stallman's view on DRM in general, as well as Lawrence Lessig's sort-of-endorsement of Sun's "open DRM" in particular.

 While the matter under discussion is hardly breaking news, the article sums the problem up nicely.

Those who prefer their information only moderately pre-chewed might want to read Ciaran O'Riordan's summary of DRM and the GPLv3. (He has another one of those on patents right here.)

Commenti

A good article indeed

Thanks for posting this here. I think this article does a great job of explaining Stallmans goals and position - it is clear and concise.

I've sent the article URL to slashdot, groklaw, newsforge, lxer, and lwn.
