Michael Geist has a summary of the OECD's Future of the Digital Economy conference, which took place in Rome last week. Here, Michael found out what this year's two big battles are going to be: Digital Restrictions Management (DRM), and user-generated content.
From my perspective, the news is that there is at least some acknowledgement
of the problems involving DRM. The privacy, security, innovation, etc.
issues are still largely ignored, however, there is a tacit (and
sometimes explicit) recognition that DRM has created consumer concerns.
