Abstract
Numerous businesses are based on controlling and vending copies of information, also known as content. Copyright law gives owners many legal rights over these copies.1 Throughout history, owners of content have benefited from cost barriers and degradation to copying and subsequently distributing such copies. In the digital age, however, these costs can become trivial, and degradation non-existent. While copyright laws remain, some fear the business of vending copies is in trouble, and today there are efforts to engineer technology to rebuild and strengthen technical barriers to content duplication. These technological barriers then manage consumers' rights to use the content. Though this is expected to keep the business of vending copies sustainable, it puts tremendous pressure on the technology expected to govern the business. These content-protecting technologies are generally called digital rights management (DRM).

bio
Eric Grab is an architect at DivXNetworks, Inc. He has helped various commercial and government organizations determine how cutting-edge software technology can create revenue streams and cost-saving measures. Grab has worked with some of the first software-based DRM for video. He subsequently researched and led implementation of the DivXNetworks Open Video System (OVS). The OVS is the first commercially available system that securely rents and delivers full-screen video over the internet since Aug. 2001. Grab also created the DRM technology in the next generation of consumer electronics products that include DivX video compression technology. Grab earned bachelor's degree in computer science from San Diego State University.
