OECD Report on Disclosure Issues Related to the Use of Copy Control
and Digital Rights Management Technologies
25-Apr-2006
This report analyses the disclosure issues raised by
technically=E2=80=91imposed restrictions on the use of digital content. It
focuses on the application of copy control and digital rights
management technologies in three areas: copy-protected CDs; online
music, and DVD regional coding. In each of these areas, the report
examines the kinds of restrictions that are commonly placed on usage
of the products (for example, restrictions on making back-ups or
private copies) and assesses the adequacy of the information that is
provided to consumers concerning such restrictions.
