US gov't to apply DRM to public, non-copyrighted info that you already paid for


Jim sez, "'Public' non-copyrighted information is going to be subjected to controls and restrictions we usually associate with RIAA and MPAA.

"A rather obscure U.S. government agency, the Government Printing Office, is proposing a new set of policies that will drastically reduce free access to government information. Three librarians from the University of California San Diego have written an article about the details." Link (Thanks, Jim!)
