Battle over IP

  • information can be end product and raw material

  • distributors vs. creative producers; control vs access

  • attempts to expand control:

    • legislation (DMCA, EU Copyright Directive)
    • technology: Digital Restriction Management Systems (DRM) and "trusted computing"
    • "trusted systems presume that the consumer is dishonest" Mark Stefik
