>Content is King!- the distribution of music, video, and books
>over the Internet and other digital means is increasingly
>displacing more traditional distribution methods."Digital
>Rights Management (DRM)"systems promise new types of business
>and usage models for the distribution of content while, at
>the same time, protecting the interests of copyright holders.
>Legal regulations such as the new European Copyright
>Directive strengthen the technical protection of DRM systems
>by legal anti-circumvention provisions. This combination of
>technology, law, politics, economics, and business creates
>numerous conflicts of interests which will have to be taken
>into account during the transformation of the Copyright
>Directive into national law. The Second DRM Conference
>tackles these controversial topics. Speakers from the content
>industry, societies for the collection of royalties,
>information and communication technology companies, as well as,
>data protection commissioners, representatives of cyber-liberty
>groups, government officials, politicians, artists, and
>scientists will discuss these controversial issues and will
>suggest solutions concerning the commercialization of digital
>content. Topics include: how to protect the interests of the
>content industry and of the users, the implications of DRM
>systems on privacy protection and cryptographic research as
>well as the introduction of a levy on computer hardware in
>Germany and other European countries. Technology companies
>will present their DRM systems and scientists will give an
>evaluation.
