Abstract
This section explores some interesting issues: Open Source based security is reputed more secure than proprietary security. Nevertheless, open source based DRM is not a viable option to protect copyrighted content. Although usually DRM-protected content is encrypted, another approach proposes to use clear content. It heavily relies on the behavior of the end user. Finally, game theory may bring novel approaches in the DRM ecosystem.
