Digital rights management info in FAITS

Digital rights management (DRM) is emerging as a key component in the debate on the legality of file sharing of music and video files. Many of our students, especially those in ENG 2100, want to write on whether or not file sharing (and the hardware and software that makes such file sharing possible) has impacted the music, TV, and film industries. Students working on such topics might want to check out the FAITS database, especially since (as Mike just noted in a BBLIB message yesterday) we've picked up a new section in that database on "information management." Within this new section are some nice reports on DRM:
  • "Protecting Digital Rights"
  • "Digital Rights Management Marketing Trends"
  • "Digital Rights Management Company Directory"
  • "Digital Rights Management Software"
