The world is abuzz this morning that the minor demons of the recording industry have kissed Steve Job’s ring, agreeing to scrap DRM on iTunes downloads. As Michael Geist said: “this decision continues to shift away from the failed strategy of locks and levies, though the industry is still vigorously promoting anti-circumvention laws to protect the very locks that are becoming less and less relevant”.
So when will our own government admit that the copyright “reforms” they are proposing are outmoded, and no longer required?
