Paid Content has a pair of interesting reports from the MidemNet conference in France including coverage of a DRM debate between representatives from the CEA, RIAA, and MPAA (the CEA response to RIAA's claim that it makes the recording industry look evil – "I don’t make you look evil – your lawsuits against old people around the country make you look evil.").
