摘要:The Digital Media Project, often referred to as DMP, is the fruit of a "bottom-up" initiative
that developed in 2003. Its main aim is to develop the fundamentals of standardized and interoperable
Digital Rights Management for digital media. Although the project is making publicly
available numerous documents on its website (DMP web site 2005), it is not easy to put the
pieces together and to assess the project. Therefore INDICARE has dedicated a two part article
to DMP. The present second part tries to assess the project in a critical manner finding out the
chances of DMP to establish a de-facto or even a de-jure DRM standard We see a good chance
for it, provided the proposed standard would be mandated, for example by the EU for the European
market.
