- EFF Wins One
  Posted by Billbar from Electronic Frontier Foundation
  SunnComm says it will ensure that future versions of MediaMax will not install when the user declines the end user license agreement (EULA) that appears when a CD is first inserted in a computer CD or DVD drive. SunnComm has also agreed to include uninstallers in all versions of MediaMax software.

- Libraries fear digital lockdown
  Posted by Billbar from BBC News
  In the long term, DRM restrictions would not expire when a work went out of copyright, it said, and it may be impossible to trace the rights holders by that time. "It is probable that no key would still exist to unlock the DRMs," "For libraries this is serious."

- DRM: Media companies' next flop?
  Posted by Billbar from News.com
  Big media players are accustomed to watching the ratings for the most popular music, video and book content. But perhaps they should pay more attention to how consumers feel about three letters at the bottom of most charts--DRM, which stands for digital rights management.

- Music labels losing sales over DRM
  Posted by Billbar from Ars Technica
  Kind of weak evidence, but a recent story in the E-Commerce Times suggests that the labels are now losing customers to their aggressive DRM tactics. The article suggests that in Canada, at least, customers have started to shy away from those "copy-controlled" logos.

Here’s my commentary on the Oscar bit plus a blurb on FAIR USE, a new bill in Congress.

Ars Technica is skeptical. They provide background on prior versions of this bill and how those bills imploded when they hit the wall that is the recording industry.

Even the press release from Broucher’s office says:

“In an effort to address the concerns expressed by content owners, the FAIR USE Act does not contain provisions which would have established a fair use defense to the act of circumvention.

The legislation instead contains specific exemptions to section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act which do not pose a comparable potential threat to their business models.”

Not holding my breath.
