Some ideas I had while at the DRM conference at Berkeley * Car governer analogy: if you travel from 55mph zone to 65mph, you should be allowed to go under the hood and modify or remove the governor. DRM circumvention for lawful purposes is the same! * The Compensation Myth: walk through the logical two-step, remember Susan Landau's (Sun) statement that "we believe in compensating creators" ... "appropriately compensate". * David Sohn and others reflected the general attitude that enabling a particular business model is a positive good -- a prima facie justification for whatever DRM mechanism is required to enable it. * Ghost Works and Unexpected Hostages * The "unexpected uses" problem w.r.t. DRM * Study of revenue trailoff patterns, talk to Pam Samuelson about this, as well as revenues in general. * Write to Stationer's archivist re: July * Mark Bard, American Library Association: speak there? * Re Natalie Helberger's consumer law focus on "reasonable expectations" of consumer, note how the expectations get changed as DRM pushes the envelope. Deirdre Mulligan made this point too. ("It's *my* computer, dammnit!") * Tone down the "shackles" rhetoric. * If using DRM to track user behavior, then must also use it to track EULA timings. (What did I mean by this?) * Peter Swire may want to do a pair of editorials about security research communicated to blessed authorities needs automatic exemption. Email him about this. Better yet, just write one and see what he thinks. * Peter Swire again: Consumers have "information-age factories" on their desks now; DRM is "crippling the production of these factories". Nice! * Make the sliding registration fee proposal 10%, but deductible from the royalties or income tax. "SPV": Stated Public Value. * Make QCO slide templates * fanfriendly.com * DRM as prohibition, rise of "darknets".
