Digital Rights Management And Privacy - Legal Aspects In The European Union
DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT: TECHNOLOGICAL, ECONOMIC, LEGAL AND POLITICAL ASPECTS(2003)
摘要
As legal phenomena, intellectual property rights and privacy rights have tended to live separate lives. At the same time,
regimes for protecting intellectual property have had, up until lately, only a marginal practical impact on the privacy of
information users. However, recent developments in Digital Rights Management Systems (DRMS) are bringing to the fore considerable
tension between the enforcement of intellectual property rights and the maintenance of consumer privacy. This tension arises
not so much out of differences between the basic nature of intellectual property and that of privacy. Rather, it arises from
a push by the holders of intellectual property rights (and their intermediaries) to secure their interests by utilising DRMS
with the potential to facilitate an unprecedented degree of surveillance of consumers’ reading, listening, viewing and browsing
habits. The basic purpose of this chapter is to explore this tension and discuss how it is likely to be resolved in terms
of European Community (EC) law.
