London - At London's meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF),
one group of delegates tackled a problem that might at first glance seem
inimical to the freewheeling IETF's philosophy: digital rights
management.
There's obviously a demand - at least on the part of copyright owners -
for
technology that controls the way intellectual property is used. That
said,
there are plenty of companies willing to try to meet that demand - from
pure
DRM players like Reciprocal and InterTrust to language vendors like
ContentGuard, IPR Systems and now RealNetworks.
