Understanding of complexity and need for discrimination
Susan Chun: “Museums are, at the same time, rights
holders and administrators, authors, scholars, librarians, and publishers.”
There’s room at the table “for scholars and art historians to help formulate new approaches and standards…. Join with us in formulating a new strategy for making our content available to you.”

ALA/AAP DRM White Paper
“Systems and technologies that manage rightsholders concerns and that permit a myriad of legitimate uses and identified consumer behaviors are simply either not being implemented or do not exist – so users are frustrated by restrictive technical mechanisms applied because their intended uses, while predictable, permissible and acceptable, are inadequately accommodated by the technology.”

Indigenous Knowledge Management
Tools described “enable authorized members of communities to:
define and control the rights, accessibility and reuse of their digital resources;
uphold traditional laws pertaining to secret/sacred knowledge or objects;
prevent the misuse of indigenous heritage in culturally inappropriate or insensitive ways;
ensure proper attribution to the traditional owners; and enable indigenous communities to describe their
resources in their own words.”
