Supplement Creative Commons with open standards

Supplement Creative Commons with open standards: "Deploying Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology restricts access to content to users who have not been specifically authorized by the content owner. However, these protections sometimes prevent users from using the content in ways they would expect to be entitled, such as playing music on their computers and their portable MP3 players. Through DRM standards that encourage some Creative Commons (CC) ideals, consumers can choose usage rights. Regular developerWorks author Judith Myerson gives a brief proprietary DRM recap, shows what the problems are, suggests some solutions to increase flexibility, and gives an example of a cross-browser menu of usage rights criteria, constraints, and requirements that consumers can choose."
