Rights-management redux
Click here for a segment on National Public Radio's Morning Edition about Microsoft's new rights-management technology for business documents, although I can't vouch for the credibility of the guy they interview.
Following our story on this topic earlier this week, a few readers asked what happens if protected or expired documents are subpoenaed through court proceedings. Microsoft says the files don't disappear entirely from the system, so even though ordinary users might not be able to access, print or share them from their desktop computers, a person with permission could go in and retrieve the necessary documents from the system in situations such as that.
