Windows Vista White Papers
Ethical Implications of Windows Vista's New DRM Technology
Overview The new version of Microsoft Windows, known as Windows Vista, "includes content protection infrastructure specifically designed to help ensure that protected commercial audiovisual content, such as newly released HD-DVD or Blu-Ray discs, can be enjoyed on Windows Vista PCs." That is, the newest version of Windows is being designed with playback of protected digital content in mind, including both audio and video content. On the surface, this looks like a wonderful feature; after all, more and more people are beginning to use their home computers as media centers. The implications of Microsoft's implementation of content protection schemes, however, have far-reaching effects on both the future users of Windows Vista and on users of computer technology in general.
