The information society

Abstract

A European/Australian alliance has been announced for the protection and trading of digital intellectual property on the Internet. Europe's IMPRIMATUR and Australia's PROPAGATE projects, both major players in the emerging digital copyright market, have agreed in principle to joint technical development on the basis of open system architecture for Electronic Copyright Management Systems. The agreement covers digital material such as music, video, text and images.
