Denmark May Follow French DRM Strategy
Sunday, March 26th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Two of Denmark’s largest companies, Maersk and TDC, are supporting the introduction of legislation that would require proprietary digital rights management (DRM) technology to be opened up between online music resellers. According to Ars Technica, the two companies run online music stores, and are among the most powerful companies in Europe.
Henrik Olesen, product manager at Maersk’s Dansk Supermarked, commented "We would like to ask the politicians to follow the route they’re taking in France, so that it becomes as easy as possible for the consumers to purchase music legally. This will in the end mean larger gross sales for all music stores."
It appears that Denmark agrees with the companies. Legislation addressing DRM control is planned for introduction some time in 2007. Brian Mikkelsen, the Danish Minister of Culture, expects that the recording labels will back Denmark’s DRM interoperability strategy.
Apple has not commented on the news out of Denmark, but has previously stated that it feels the French law Denmark’s may be based on is akin to"state-sponsored piracy."
