摘要:In this editorial we announce two new INDICARE deliverables: the first INDICARE
consumer survey on digital music and DRM, and the first update of the INDICARE State-of-the-
Art-Report. In this issue you will find, apart from announcing and presenting our new findings,
three articles which continue the focus we started in April on DRM in the field of scientific publishing
and libraries. In further articles, results of a survey addressing user perceptions of DRM
systems are presented, the role of DRM systems in computer games is investigated, and two
thoughtful conference reports are provided, one addressing the balance between rightholders
and consumers at the international level, the other questioning consumer law in the information
economy.
