Aboriginal archive offers new DRM
Aboriginals viewing the Mukurtu Wumpurrarni-kari Archive
The archive has attracted a lot of attention
A new method of digital rights management (DRM) which relies on a user's profile has been pioneered by Aboriginal Australians.

The Mukurtu Wumpurrarni-kari Archive has been developed by a community based in Australia's Northern Territory.

It asks every person who logs in for their name, age, sex and standing within their community.

This information then restricts what they can search for in the archive, offering a new take on DRM

Interesting take on restricting access to things. And reasons why that access might need to be restricted.
There would also need to be a means to maintain the information into the future when the originators of the program are no longer here. Wonder how that will work?
