Intellectual Property Protection - IBM, Florian Pestoni - 3

With the advent of consumer grade digital technology, content such as music and movies are no longer bound to the physical media that carries it. This presents new challenges to content owners, who want to protect their intellectual property while at the same time extracting economic benefit from it. On the other hand, consumers want ease of use and convenience.
Florian Pestoni from IBM's Almaden Research Laboratories presented "Intellectual Property Protection" which describes some of the existing and proposed solutions, representing different trade-offs between the needs of the different parties. While technology such as cryptography plays an important role in this space, a complete solution usually relies on legal and policy aspects. The talk presented February 18, 2003 touched upon some of these issues.
