Every once in a while, the dance between trends and technology achieves an almost perfect state of synchronicity that changes the way we experience the world. This may be one of those times. Among the trends: five years ago, less than 13 percent of Internet users had a digital-music file on their computer. Now, 70 percent of computer users listen to music on their PCs. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Last year, more than 100 million digital photos were taken. More and more people are using PCs to view videos. By the end of this year, 9.5 million TV tuner cards will have shipped.

Digital rights management standard
splits

Digital rights management standard
splits 04/09/2004 04:01 PM

Digital rights management ( DRM ) reached a milestone this week, with the promulgation of a major standard, but not without a problem. DRM technologies allow users to shape access to digital documents by building in usage restrictions, resembling copy protection for videotapes. Ideally, a user may set who can view a document, or who can edit it, and for how long.

The International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) anounced its support for MPEG Rights Expression Language , or MPEG-REL. Many digital content and media giants have been involved in seeing this to fruition.

However, another DRM standard is already gaining ground. Open Digital Rights Language ( ODRL ) has been out since late 2002, and has won some business and academic support .

Due to the perceived widespread demand for DRM, both standards are potentially in a competitive relationship .
