  DRM and Download FAQ
DRM Rights Object (file extension *.drc) is the file containing the rights object, specified in binary, as well as the key used to encrypt the content in the DCF file.
OMA DRM provides better access to branded content, since use of the content can be controlled, and the industry-wide standard allows operators and service providers to gain a critical mass of users.
OMA DRM v1.0 specifications are available at http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/publicmaterial.html, and are ready for implementation.

 DRM Watch: Opposition Mounts to OMA DRM Patent Licensing Scheme
Opposition to MPEG-LA's patent licensing pool for implementers of the OMA DRM 1.0 standard is mounting, as trade associations in the mobile industry and academic researchers have begun formally expressing concerns about it.
Although discussions of the '403 patent's applicability to OMA DRM have taken place in private, this article is the first public assertion against this intellectual property -- a warning shot across the bow that could lead to a drawn-out battle in court.
This could be done by eliminating the requirement that the royalties be retroactive to all OMA DRM implementations and establishing thresholds of revenues, subscribership, or device unit volume that must be exceeded before royalties apply.

 Europe4DRM, Standards, Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)
OMA DRM 1.0 was designed for a world of simple, low-cost devices with not much memory, no trusted system clocks, and no sophisticated content rendering capabilities - that is, it was designed to support ring tones and wallpaper graphics.
The OMA’s specifications are to be supported by the Content Management License Administrator (CMLA), whose membership includes companies that span the entire content value chain, from content (Warner Bros. film studios) to wireless carriers (o2) to chips (Intel) to devices (Nokia, Matsushita, Samsung) to software (RealNetworks).
Its primary purpose is to establish a trust model on which to base OMA DRM implementations - that is, a framework for allowing devices to communicate their authenticated identities to content services as well as to ensure that those devices are impervious to being spoofed.

 Manage digital rights with the OMA   (Site not responding. Last check: )
However, for any DRM solution to be successful, all the members of the value chain must buy into the process, including those producing the content, those delivering the content and keys, those producing the devices, and, ultimately, the consumers.
One key difference between the OMA and other standards groups is that instead of dividing problems and standardizing solutions by technology, it assembles cross-functional groups; this leads to a process that is in tune with the business requirements to which the technology is applied.
The DRM agent is also responsible for ensuring the key does not leave the device and that a key from another device cannot be used instead.

OMA said that it expects its DRM spec to have broader appeal than proprietary solutions and to be applied to the audio, video and wireless application categories, none of which has a dominant DRM scheme today.
By defining a single DRM for multiple devices, providers and markets, OMA is walking a trail blazed by the Secure Digital Music Initiative but will have to hack back the overgrowth that has proliferated since the retreat of SDMI, which remains on official hiatus.
OMA hopes to succeed where earlier efforts have failed by untangling the conflicting interests that have stalled DRM's adoption and enabling the more open exchange of digital content.

 OMA as Content Protector
Backers of the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) DRM 2.0 standard are hoping the standard will help them avoid the wireline world's fragmented digital security environment, but others say there is no way to avoid multiple schemes – particularly as content flows between wired and wireline worlds.
The OMA organization has recognized that fact, and that is one reason the DRM 2.0 standard was designed around HTTP protocol for the device connection, whereas OMA 1.0 relied on wireless-specific WAP push protocols, Buhse says.
DRM system provider CoreMedia has, in fact, come up with a scheme that allows users to download music to a mobile phone and then transfer it to the PC for playback using a Windows Media player – and carry over the content's DRM protections in the process.

More advanced DRM restrictions can be applied to limit the number of times that the user can access an object, or start and end dates can be specified to limit how long the user can access an object.
DRM wrappers are added to individual pieces of content, such as an image or video, and not to an entire MMS message.
While the OMA specifications suggest that a device should be able to understand a DRM object even if the boundary parameter is not present in the Content-Type header, this could present potential problems.

 TheFeature :: It's All About The Mobile Internet   (Site not responding. Last check: )
At the beginning of the year, the MPEG LA intellectual-property licensing firm said it had pooled together the necessary patents needed for OMA DRM, and would license them to handset vendors for $1 per handset, a price device makers decried as too high.
OMA DRM 2.0 was envisioned as being the single DRM technology used across the entire mobile industry, and being licensed to other consumer electronics manufacturers as well, paving the way for users to be able to share content between their mobile phones and other devices.
The second possibility sees carriers and handset vendors turning to cheaper DRM schemes, destroying the premise of OMA DRM to unite the mobile world on a single standard and thus avoiding the fragmentation that plagues the Web-based download world.

One reason is the widespread adoption of DRM technology, which protects mobile content against unauthorized access, monitors the use of content, and enforces restrictions on what users can do with content.

 Phone DRM: the most expensive royalty operation ever | The Register
The complaint had been that if every one of the 684m handsets sold last year had required the use of OMA DRM, then it would have cost the mobile operator industry at least $684m, and that was more than the total of protected content sales during the same year.
By cutting the handset charge to 65 cents, plus 25 cents as soon as that OMA DRM is used in anger, the handset charges on the same calculation would drop to $444m, plus $171m if every one of those phones as used to download one piece of protected content.
As new applications for OMA DRM emerge, their coverage will be considered in connection with future licenses.
