Information Week has published an article by Cory Doctorow called "
A Behind-The-Scenes Look At How DRM Becomes Law".
"Otto von Bismarck quipped, 'Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.' I've seen sausages made. I've seen laws made. Both processes are pleasant in comparison to the way anti-copying technology agreements are made."
It is hard to imagine anyone looking rationally at existing copyright and DRM laws, and coming away convinced that they are a complete, rational and effective solution for society. This article helps us understand why, and shows very clearly why there is such a gap between many of the practical, legal and moral/ethical considerations in the DRM debate.
