BUT: Many countries in Asia are still lacking effective protection of rights management information and technological protection measures.

9 Ute Decker@ifpi.org IFPI - representing the recording industry worldwide Experience in Europe Protection under the EU Information Society Directive: –Full protection for the integrity of rights management information. –Full protection against circumvention of technological measures. –For the employment of technological measures, rightholders can and want to accommodate certain exemptions (e.g. for public libraries and educational institutions) – The basis for communication between rightholders and users is already available. –Positive experience in application so far.

10 Ute Decker@ifpi.org IFPI - representing the recording industry worldwide Conclusion Digital use opens the doors for entirely different ways of use. The process for the development of Digital Rights Management is complex. Digital Licensing is convenient. Trust and integrity are essential. Digital Rights Management and Technological Protection Measures are the elements of Digital Rights Management. A layer of legal protection to maintain integrity along the 1996 WIPO Treaties is necessary.
