Google Video Shutdown Sparks DRM Controversy

[Nicholas]

All these problems [1][2] could have been avoided and the service
might be still running successfully had Google considered the Rights
Office [3] system as a means of distributing the video content.

I will be presenting a technical paper describing the Rights Office
system at the Virtual Goods [4] conference Oct 11 - 13 2007 in
Koblenz, Germany.
