Watermarking (DRM) and Privacy

MediaPost's Daily Online Examiner today comments briefly on the Center for Democracy & Technology's "Privacy Principles for Digital Watermarking," which can be downloaded from this page.

The E-Publishing Circuit

Last week David Pogue's Circuits article covered his experience with giving PDFs of his books to scammers who proceeded to post the items online. This week he follows-up, as he frequently does, with readers' responses to his article.

I'm a bit surprised that he didn't go to any "experts" who have experimented with book epublishing. That said, the responses he published seemed to cover most of the ground experts would, from recommendations to refer special-needs readers to Bookshare to various distributors who are experimenting with book DRM.
