Hi All,

The issues that I see Richard raising and my thoughts:

- content owners and content consumers should have equal rights when it 
comes to what one can do with the content. My take is that content owners 
will place "requirements for usage" (restrictions) on the content they 
provide and their relationship with the consumer. And the content consumer 
will place "requirements for usage" on the content they obtain and their 
relationship with the owner. Where the "requirements for usage" are the 
same (compatible) then the content will flow - there's an agreement between 
the consumer and owner.

- There appear to be "laws that prohibit free software from implementing 
DRM". I guess we need more information those laws and on exactly what 
restrictions Richard is against. That would help clarify the situation a lot.

Hmmm?...

Cheers Daniel
