JPEG Looking To Add DRM To Images... Supposedly To Protect Images From Gov't Surveillance
Found on Techdirt on Wednesday, 15 July 2015
"The JPEG committee investigates solutions to assure privacy and security when sharing photos on social networks, (stock) photography databases, etc. JPEG Privacy & Security will provide new functionality to JPEG encoded images such as ensuring privacy, maintaining data integrity, and protecting intellectual rights, while maintaining backwards and forward compatibility to existing JPEG legacy solutions."
What's interesting is that some are claiming this is based on this research paper that pitches such DRM for the purpose of protecting images from surveillance and such.
Sure future keyboards will come without the PrtScr button to stop image piracy.
