Open Letter to Remind the EU that DRM Died (for a Reason)

It almost seems that even the – normally utterly ignorant – Big Four understand the ‘problem’ of media piracy better than the European Union. While as we speak all major record labels have decided to give up on DRM, EU commissioner Viviane Reding has announced the plan to create a single European-wide market for online media content protected by a “truly interoperable, consumer friendly DRM system”. I think most people who know something about DRM will agree this plan is outdated, unfriendly to EU citizens and simply deemed to fail. DRM is defective by design!

To help remind the EU that DRM died in 2007, please sign this open letter!

For the Dutch readers who don’t know what DRM is all about, please read the article Wat is (er mis) met DRM? I wrote for Netcultuur.

New Year = New Website

As you might have noticed, you have reached my new website. For clarity and personal comfort, I decided to integrate my blog, portfolio, and personal website in one handy WordPress installation.

I’m still working on some (minor) bugs. I’m also trying to find a way to re-publish my old Zomplog entries on this new website.

Please update your bookmarks and RSS-feeds ;)
