Everyone wants digital rights management (DRM) technologies that protect copyrighted audio, video and broadcast content from hackers, pirates and ordinary file-sharers, but nobody wants to pay for them. DRM experts convening to the Netherlands on the first day of Europe's biggest broadcast conference, IBC, equated DRM costs to a "tax." Worse, according to Jean-Luc Moullet, vice president for software and technology solutions at Thomson USA, it's a tax that offers few benefits for consumers.
