Three Questions 1) What are the needs of consumers, librarians, authors and publishers? 2) Why and how do publishers use DRM? 3) Is it really (all) about DRM? Or – is it about balance of access, usability, technology and business models? Suzanne Kemperman, OCLC NISO/BISG 3rd Annual Forum 5

What Do We Want? Authors Users  DRM - Copyright  DRM-free  Wide dissemination  Social use  Royalties  Interoperability Publishers Librarians  DRM - Copyright  DRM-free  Quality content  Quality content  Revenues  Ease of use Suzanne Kemperman, OCLC NISO/BISG 3rd Annual Forum 6

Why Do Publishers Use DRM?  Protection of authors and copyright  Dramatic increase in piracy  Protection of (digital) revenues  Loss of print and low electronic revenues  Survival of publishing business  Open Access not (yet) sustainable for books  Survival of quality information Suzanne Kemperman, OCLC NISO/BISG 3rd Annual Forum 7

How Do Publishers Use DRM?  Restriction  Differentiate DRM by market and type of eBook  Limit Access, View, Copy, Paste, Print  Prevention  File DRM  Identification  Watermarking, Library Account & User ID  Monitoring  Anti-Piracy Activities Suzanne Kemperman, OCLC NISO/BISG 3rd Annual Forum 8

Is It Really (All) About DRM?  It’s about user-friendly products  It’s about access  It’s about reading as a social act  It’s about business models that let everyone live Can we work together on a balanced solution? Suzanne Kemperman, OCLC NISO/BISG 3rd Annual Forum 9

Towards a Solution…  Acknowledging the need for quality  Authors, publishers and libraries are invested in quality content and play a key role in the information industry  Acknowledging the transition period  Negotiating copyright laws, fair use, authorship, new access and business models, lack of publisher revenues, low library budgets and high user expectations  Funding and Standard organizations need to be involved  Acknowledging the need for open(er) access  Information wants to be free and users want to be free to interact, interoperate and create  How can we help authors, publishers & libraries in fulfilling their roles and provide unrestricted Access? Suzanne Kemperman, OCLC NISO/BISG 3rd Annual Forum 10

What Is a Balanced Approach? Right now …  Better access and less DRM requires better business models  Consumers pay for (DRM-free) eContent  Would libraries pay for better access & use?  Unlimited, multiple simultaneous  Higher cost for restriction-free materials? We can…  Jointly develop Digital Use standards Suzanne Kemperman, OCLC NISO/BISG 3rd Annual Forum 11

Define Our Goal Along the Way Does this get close?: Providing content to users at point of need - where, when and how they want it, in a sustainable model for consumers, authors, publishers and libraries, freeing content for broad discovery and use. Suzanne Kemperman, OCLC NISO/BISG 3rd Annual Forum 12
