  • Abstract
    Consumers want to use their digital content in the same way they have always used analog content. Consumer associations and governments are starting to request and even impose interoperability between DRM vendors´ products. Therefore, interoperability has become a hot topic among content creators and distributors. Digital music providers and even authors are starting to refute the idea thatDRM is an ideal solution for protecting their rights. This is partly due to Apple and Microsoft not making their solutions interoperate.
