Moving beyond DRM

Have you been counting? This is my third DRM post. I must love it. Or hate it. Either way, it’s damn easy to blog about.

I haven’t heard many jaw-dropping suggestions for adequate copyright control which both protects the copyright holders and respects the need of consumers and pirates alike. But this article has some sweet ideas. A big thing is convenience. People want options, and they want options in front of them. Understand that if given the choice, people would buy what they want. Putting up ads for new shows on hulu, or special deals on netflix would probably deter a lot of piracy. If I can buy my episodes of My Little Pony right after I watch Rugrats, I wouldn’t have to go on Youtube to watch them.
