摘要：With the second year of INDICARE we start the second Volume of the INDICARE
Monitor this month. Beginning with the present issue, the Editorial will always fulfil two purposes.
It will announce INDICARE project news and it will introduce the respective issue. Apart
from payments and DRMs, the current issue continues debate about DRM patents, requirements
of the European Copyright Directive (EUCD), and adds a further comment of the first
INDICARE State Of the Art Report ¨C this time from the IT-industry side. We also introduce a
newly emerging DRM topic, namely the use of DRM systems for computer games, and we present
a straight forward economic analysis of DRM by two French researchers involved in the
European IST project MediaNet.
