"NZ asks questions about DRM".
I knew this looked familiar - there is a more detailed story online at http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/0/46EB5A5106127888CC25701A00747F09?OpenDocument&pub=Computerworld
Sounds like someone in the govt IT sector is clueful....
There is quite a bit of stuff on DRM on the government e-government website including a recommendation to avoid installing such software on government and local government servers. This recommendation is dated 2003 but recently a similar recommendation was sent out. http://www.e-government.govt.nz/news/2003110301.asp
