+-   EU Encouraging Standardized DRM, Licensing-> on Thursday January 03 2008, @03:45PM I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "The European Commission is trying to encourage a standard licensing and DRM scheme for all of Europe and "cooperation procedures" and "codes of conduct" for ISPs, copyright holders, and customers. No legislation has been proposed yet, but the "cooperation procedures" sound like a push for an EU version of the DMCA Takedown Notices, which are already routinely sent to people outside the US. And while simplified licensing might be nice, it's interesting that they don't appear to understand the inherent tension between standardization, interoperability and DRM — break once, copy everywhere."
