Abstract

In this paper we argue that improved interoperability between DRM systems is likely to benefit to all the actors in the content value chain. Moreover, we describe a domain-based approach to DRM interoperability. We discuss in some detail configuration aspects of such interoperable domains, and how they affect certain social aspects such as marriage and divorce. We conclude that interoperable domains offer a much needed flexibility, allowing users to more easily move between vertical silos and offering content owners a more flexible environment for selling content.

Efficient and Enhanced Solutions for Content Sharing in DRM Systems
DBSec 2014: Proceedings of the 28th Annual IFIP WG 11.3 Working Conference on Data and Applications Security and Privacy XXVIII - Volume 8566

We present a solution to the problem of content sharing in digital rights management DRM systems. Users in DRM systems purchase content from content providers and then wish to distribute it between their own devices or to other users. The goal is to ...
Redistributing time-based rights between consumer devices for content sharing in DRM system

Device-based digital rights management (DRM) systems tightly bind rights for content to a device. However, it can decrease the consumers’ convenience because it disturbs consumers who want to use the already purchased content with their other devices ...
Secure Domain Architecture for Interoperable Content Distribution
PCM '09: Proceedings of the 10th Pacific Rim Conference on Multimedia: Advances in Multimedia Information Processing

Authorized domains are used to share digital content among multiple devices without violating the copyright issues. However, if a domain is composed of multiple devices supporting different DRM technology, sharing and accessing of contents among the ...
