The program for this important event is now complete.

It is important for everyone thinking about this topic to understand that digital rights technologies means a lot more than encrypting iTunes files so that they will only play on iPods. Content owners have various means at their disposal to track and protect rights, ranging from noninvasive and forensic to proactive technologies like encryption.

DRM is now a cliche. And a negative one for sure. This conference will be looking at the bigger picture and over the horizon - long after iTunes is dead and buried. It is important for everyone involved in digital content distribution to understand the broader range of this topic and not just rely on sensationalism (either from the RIAA or the EFF).

Also remember that our website DRMWatch.com (digital rights management watch) updates all of these issues daily.
