This site is devoted to copyright and issues of 'intellectual property,' particularly the issue's analytical aspects. It also concerns itself with the gap between public perception and the true facts, and with the significant lag time between the coverage on more technical sites and the mainstream press.

Biometric DRM gets a scathing response from Register readers.

More on Beastie Boys' ineffective yet invasive DRM.
