What Consumers Want in Digital Rights Management (DRM): Making Content as Widely Available as Possible in Ways that Satisfy Consumer Preferences
Not a position paper, this white paper jointly released by the The Association of American Publishers (AAP) and the American Library Association (ALA), offers a 60-page snapshot of e-book users' experiences and preferences, with a view to identifying those features that vendors should take account of in implementing Digital Rights Management software for e-books. While specifically focused on e-books, the report may well have relevance for the wider deployment of DRM software, especially as it relates to practitioners' behavior and their requirements for the use and re-use of digital material.
