Call for Papers

EIGHTH ACM DRM WORKSHOP
(Co-located with ACM-CCS 2008, Alexandria, Virginia, USA)


http://www.ece.unm.edu/DRM2008/


Submission deadline: May 23, 2008
Workshop: October 27, 2008 - Alexandria, Virginia, USA
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The ACM Workshop on Digital Rights Management is an international
forum that serves as an interdisplinary bridge between areas that can
be applied to solving the problem of Intellectual Property protection
of digital content. These include: cryptography, software and
computer systems design, trusted computing, information and signal
processing, intellectual property law, policy-making, as well as
business analysis and economics. Its purpose is to bring together
researchers from the above fields for a full day of formal talks and
informal discussions, covering new results that will spur new
investigations regarding the foundations and practices of DRM.

This year's workshop, the eighth in the series, continues this
tradition. As in the previous editions, it is sponsored by ACM SIGSAC
and is held in conjunction with the ACM Conference in Computer and
Communications Security (CCS).

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* anonymous publishing, privacy and DRM
* architectures for DRM systems
* business models for online content distribution, risk management
* copyright-law issues, including but not limited to fair use
* digital goods and online multiplayer games
* digital policy management
* DRM and consumer rights, labeling and competition law
* implementations and case studies
* information theory and combinatorics, including marking assumptions
and related codes
* robust identification of digital content
* security issues, including but not limited to authorization,
encryption, tamper resistance, and watermarking
* regulatory authority for DRM, interoperability
* supporting cryptographic technology including but not limited to
traitor tracing, broadcast encryption, obfuscation
* threat and vulnerability assessment
* trusted computing, attestation, hardware support for DRM,
side-channels
* usability aspects of DRM systems
* web services related to DRM systems

that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with
proceedings. Submissions should be at most 15 pages excluding the
bibliography and well- marked appendices, using at least 11-point font
and reasonable margins. Committee members are not required to read
the appendices, and thus submissions should be intelligible without
them. Each submission should start with the title, abstract, and names
and contact information of authors. All submissions will be handled
electronically. For submission instructions and further information
please point your web-browser to:

PROCEEDINGS

Accepted papers will be published in an archival proceedings volume by
ACM Press and will be distributed at the time of the workshop.

The ACM Workshop on Digital Rights Management [...]

You are in error.

DRM stands for Digital *Restrictions* Management.

You can also call it what it really is: Defective by Design.

Digital Rights Managment is US Federal Law. The FBI enforce Federal
Laws. If the FBI is investigating a DRM case then federal funds are
being used to pay for the investigation.

I accept that most cases the investigations and trials funded by
the studios.

This statement does not parse.

Which law(s) do you have in mind?
