Questions

1. Have DRM systems gone too far, as some critics claim? Recall the 2005 Sony BMG Copy Protection case involving the controversial "rootkit" problem that we described in Section 9.3.1. Should Sony be allowed to use a DRM system that cannot easily be uninstalled when circumstances warrant it? Do companies such as Sony need strong DRM systems to ensure the protection of their intellectual property rights? What kind of compromise position could be reached between users and content owners in the ongoing debate about DRM systems?

2. Review Julie Hilden's arguments for why some "exceptions" should be made in cases of prosecuting sexting crimes under current child pornography laws. What does she mean by the "Romeo and Juliet" exception and by the "age-specific" exception? Are these exceptions plausible in the kinds of sexting cases that we examined? Describe some of the challenges posed by the age-specific exception. For example, what would happen if a middle-aged man received an unsolicited nude photo from a teenage girl on his cell phone? Should he be prosecuted for possessing a pornographic image of a minor? Should the teenage girl who sent this photo to him be prosecuted for transmitting the image? Defend your answers.
