CMLA site launch

As I mentioned previously via jGuru, Nokia, Warner Bros. et al have announced the CMLA recently as part of their mobile anti-piracy efforts for movies and music.

Wondering what exactly the CMLA intends to do? Thankfully they’ve launched a site, CM-LA.com to help explain. Their one sentence overview:

CMLA is a licensing and compliance entity formed to provide a full solution implementation of the OMA DRM version 2.0 interoperability specification.

Whew, what a mouthful! I hope in the end this doesn’t boil down to “How the music and movie industries killed fair use.”
