Digital Rights Management De-mystified

The title of this article is a bit misleading. This is not an introductory article intended to make the arcane arts clear to all, it's an overview of the OMA digital rights strategy for the wireless market (and most notably, cell or mobile phones). Essentially, the technology prevents you from forwarding content (such as ring tones) that you download to your phone, or if you do forward the content, the rights are attached in a separate file, which means that the recipient cannot use the content until a new rights file is obtained. I don't think that this article really gets beyond the interests of the content community in its analysis and so doesn't seriously consider things like, say, non-compliant telephones.
