Because the content providers pay money.: Document protection is a feature that can be used to sell a more substantial product. But DRM can be a product, and can be leveraged to sell othetr products.

Would Microsoft be so interested in DRM if the content companies were not?
I wouldn't be surprised if content DRM is handled by a separate group from document and personal information protection.; Posted by: Anton Philidor Posted on: 08/22/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
