OECD, Report on Disclosure Issues Related to the Use of Copy Control and Digital Rights Management Technologies (Apr. 18, 2006) (full-text).

Overview
Prepared by the OECD Committee on Consumer Policy (CCP), this report analyzes the disclosure issues raised by the use of digital rights management (DRM) and copy control technologies (CCTs) to protect intellectual property rights. More specifically, it examines the kinds of restrictions that are commonly placed on access or use of protected material (for example, restrictions on making back-ups or private copies) and the disclosures provided to inform consumers about these restrictions.
