The Future Of DRM Technology for Content Distribution - Spring 2003
This paper was my Junior Independent Work in the Computer Science department. My paper has been
referenced by a few people out there, but only in foreign language papers. This
some German web siterefered to me as "computer scientist Daniel Semaya of the University of Princeton" (
translation). I am also now referenced in this french paper (
PDF HTML) as well. I was trying to predict the future in this paper, and so far I've been pretty wrong, which is a good thing.
