Good article discussion the relation between digital rioghts management (DRM) and open access (OA) publushing. While OA advocates eschew DRM because it has the potential to impose access restrictions, there may be a role for DRM in the management of minimal rights, such as attribution, through a declaration of those rights in metadata. Moreover, OA advocates need to be wary of the DRM in PDFs provided by publishers to authors for self-archiving. Via EDUCAUSE.
