After viewing these two Wikipedia entries, I looked through my information to see if there was anything that was left out. From my point of view, each site was very thorough and contained a great deal of information. However, both pages neglected to feature a discussion about the potential futures in the world of Digital Rights Management. On this topic, the future is especially important. DRM is one of those areas that can lead to a slippery slope. We do not want people violating copyrights, but at the same time, we need to make sure we are not invading people's privacy. DRM could lead down a dangerous path of media control over our electronic lives. As such, it is very important that people consider the future when thinking about this topic. Indeed, Wikipedia did not make a mention of plans for the future for DRM, other than briefly mentioning iTunes Plus (which is now 100% DRM free)
