DRM
Copy Protection Is a Crime
David Weinberger has a
piece that talks about DRM software not being intelligent enough to allow fair use. Fair use is almost always a judgement call, and thus a typically human task. David argues, as he did at ETech, that systems that work on absolutes without room for ambiguity, will in the end work against society:
In reality, our legal system usually leaves us wiggle room. What's fair in one case won't be in another - and only human judgment can discern the difference. As we write the rules of use into software and hardware, we are also rewriting the rules we live by as a society, without anyone first bothering to ask if that's OK.
Well put -- I'm in total agreement.
