COPYRIGHT LIVES -- AS AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTORS AWAY

Here's some snappy journalism from The Reporter: an analysis by Andrew Orlowski of the deal struck between Apple and Motorola which will allow "severely crippled" versions of iTunes to be played on Motorola phones. Orlowksi describes this as a triumph for DRM ("digital rights management") as well as being a mastepiece of diplomacy.

The IPKat is in awe of the ever-increasing number of ways in which copyright-protected works can be delivered to customers, each generating further marketing opportunities for copyright owners. Whoever said copyright is dead?

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
