Hi Karen, a very interesting suggestion that also would cover the grey-areas we defined at the DRM-Workshop. Perhaps Renato can tell us more whether ODRL could also work with this upside-down concept. It might also be the case that this can make DRM less threatening in the overall community thus making it overall possible. The best was always the enemy of the good. The will for too much protection might hinder any acceptance of protection. ..yet another piece in the mosaic.. I'm pleased to see that my comment on the submission triggered a reaction. It has taken me a long time as I tried to really understand.
