摘要：An INDICARE-interview with Arnoud de Kemp about DRM in scientific publishing
marks the start of this issue; six contributions related to the entertainment business follow: the
fight against "piracy" is dealt with in an INDICARE-interview with Tim Kuik (BREIN - Bescherming
Rechten Entertainment Industrie Nederland), the successful fight of consumers for their
rights is exemplified by a decision of the Cour d' Appel de Paris (Mulholland case), and opinions
of "Indies" about DRM are collected in a third article. Further articles tackle developments at the
level of DRM technology providers: first, agreements of Microsoft with Philips, Nokia and Core-
Media are analysed, second, lessons are drawn from the recent DRM Strategies Conference
held in New York, and third the chances of DMP (Digital Media Project) to establish an open
DRM standard are assessed. Finally, Nicholas Bentley presents a new conceptual approach
how to best regulate the distribution of copyrighted works in a digital environment.
