Digital Media Project Officially Established December 4, 2003 By DRM Watch Staff
The Digital
Media Project (DMP) incorporated itself on Monday, thereby stepping beyond
the aspirations of its small band of early contributors into reality. The
DMP, led by Dr. Leonardo Chiariglione of MPEG, named a board of directors and
established a membership policy. It also issued a call for submissions of
information about traditional content rights and how they might map to sets of
precisely described rights in the digital media world.
Three major vendors of consumer media technology have expressed interest in
joining the DMP and may do so after their respective internal reviews.
This is good news for this very well-intentioned though wildly ambitious
meta-standards initiative. The bad news is that there appears to be no
interest so far from any of the major media companies. Such interest will
be necessary if the DMP is to have any credibility with the standards processes
it intends to influence.
