【田中委員】 出版業界側から付け加えさせていただきますと、LCPに関しては、我々はDRMだとは思って いません。認証はされていますけれども、著作権を保護されているという認識を持っていないので、この場で付 け加えさせていただきます。
 以上です。

【田中委員】 DRMのところを追加すると、電子書店で買っていただいた段階で電子書店のビューアとコンテ ンツがDRMで保護されているという状態は、現状、日本でそういうのが広がっておりますので、ヨーロッパ、 フランスとかで使われているReadium LCP、どのビューアでも使えるという形のものが導入されるということの可能性は低いだろうと考えておりま す。国内の問題としてはそういうふうに考えております。

【Committee Member Tanaka】 On behalf of the publishing industry, I would like to add that we do not consider LCP to be DRM. While it does involve authentication, we do not believe it protects copyrights, so I wanted to make that clear here.
That is all.
Quote:
【Committee Member Tanaka】 To elaborate on the DRM point, the current situation that is widespread in Japan is that when you purchase from an e-bookstore, the e-bookstore's viewer and the content are protected by DRM. Therefore, we believe it is unlikely that a system like Readium LCP, which is used in Europe and France and allows use on any viewer, will be introduced. That is our view on the domestic situation.

The reaction from Japanese publishing stakeholders regarding Readium LCP was extremely negative, and they said that Readium LCP is not DRM.
