British Government Says no to Digital Music DRM Ban
February 26th, 2007Steve Jobs may want to scrap digital rights management (DRM) for digital music - or so he says - but the British government doesn’t agree. Blogger Neil Holmes created a petition at the government’s e-petitions website asking Tony Blair to ban the use of DRM technologies for digital content, and gathered 1,414 signatures (admittedly, not quite as good as the 1.8m people who’ve signed one on road traffic pricing). However, the government has now responded to the DRM petition, and it’s not encouraging.
