EU gets hip to DRM as a privacy threat (via Silicon.com)

For the second day in a row the folks at silicon.com have give me cause to blog. Nice too see the EU is considering the privacy implications of a “DRM track everything that moves” world. Could make for some interesting conversations with Microsoft in future….

The article is here. I will be getting hold of the report, which silicon quotes thus:

“Electronic copyright management systems (ECMS) are being devised and offered which could lead to ubiquitous surveillance of users by digital works. Some ECMS are monitoring every single act of reading, listening and viewing on the internet by individual users thereby collecting highly sensitive information about the data subject concerned.”
