All I know, is DRM can be done right or done wrong from the eyes of Free
Software world.
Right, includes fair use and the ability to use the codec/library on your
choice of device, sort of how lower in the OSI model tcp/ip and secure
tunnelling is permit between devices of differing vendor, with appropriate RFC
exposed to the community. (Demand Universality - Win, Lin, Mac, BSD,
hand-held!)
If an Ottawa company wishes to get ahead they should use a codec/library which
runs on multiple platforms which I would suggest may in-fact be politically
correct in the Linux / OSS world, if not in binary or source format, then at
least with the publication of protocol and community review. This acts
double-time in the DRM world as it helps spread the specification /
cryptographic standard and convinces the security community on the
merits/detractors which for media protection is crucial.
Certain local operations were right to have invest already in R&D. This when
they have a choice how much to Publish, and what to keep internal to IP profile.
They don't have to expose it all, but must provide something to anchor on, much
as Real Networks managed to get ahead by offering multiple clients and
specification of the server/streaming.
Perhaps the source for basic library handling of secure content format, whilst
keeping the advanced stuff commercial.
Then DRM is not such the big lock-in beast you'd expect and will help them make
the authors secure and bring use-able paid content to the world.
I don't work with 'em, but I know enough about the class of companies to say do
the right thing and Publish to IETF or other standards body for Global
scrutiny. If there is portion which cannot be published, what is the security
model?
Is it a matter of early bird to chirp on the digital sphere wins first
recognition?

Hi Rick,
Messages with BCCs get flagged for moderation as an anti-spam measure. BCCing
is not necessarily bad, per se, but it does mean your message will get held
back from the list until it's approved.
I think many here would agree (I do) that open standards are key to the spread
of free/open software. This topic is appropriate and has been raised many
times with regard to other similar developments. Thank you for spreading the
news.
Cheers,
Lisa

Thank you, Rob, for the post and the political heads-up.
I believe the issue is that Mailman strips HTML out of posts.
Cheers,
