I'm a technologist at heart with a passion for emerging products and early stage companies.  Simple timing put me in the right place at the right time and gave me several opportunities to help shape the Internet during its formative years.  My education came via hands-on product development, a stint at NYU and side-by-side work with some of the most innovative minds in software.

    To DRM, or not to DRM.... It really doesn't matter

    With all the flailing around the consumer music space regarding DRM it is very hard to get a balanced perspective concerning the debate between the necessity for DRM vs. user's rights and fair use. Alex Wolfe at Information Week compiled a "DRM Scorecard" describing DRM solutions over time, and how each and everyone has been defeated.

    Is it really worth all the negative publicity, user angst and the investment of time and money to put your content under the DRM lock and key when just about anyone can download the cracks?
