Cybersurf

Digital rights management is one of the most contentious issues on the internet because it directly affects the way we manage intellectual property – or who own the music and software that moves so freely over the internet?

Heather Ford is a driving force at iCommons dot org and was instrumental in setting up Creative Commons South Africa. So I asked for her understanding of digital rights management.

INSERT:

Heather Ford discussing creative new business models for the Internet age. If you’d like to learn more about Creative ways of managing intellectual property rights, check out the Creative commons web site at http://za.creativecommons.org/

Next week an important Creative Commons conference will be taking place in Cape Town. So check it out http://za.creativecommons.org/

And with that we wrap up today’s edition of Cybersurf – please join me again next Wednesday, for more on the best of the web.
