OpenID = Ex-Libris = Bookplate = Forget about DRM?

Exlibris From openid.net:

OpenID: OpenID is a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet.

From Wikipedia:

Bookplate: also known as ex-librīs [Latin, "from the books of..."], is usually a small print or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the inside front cover, to indicate its owner. Simple typographical bookplates are termed 'booklabels'.

What if instead of putting people in DRM jails (which is what the book industry seems to be heading for despite the music painful e-adventures), e-books were without DRM but carrying the OpenID of their owners?

This is a simple idea which is not really new: Ex-Libris have been around for a while!

Instead of penalizing e-book buyers and readers with ineffective DRMs, why not make them proud and responsible owners of the content they download?

Cyberlibris 2.0

Image_2 We've just added two new widgets to the Netvibes ecosystem. These widgets relate to the brand new service we have co-developped with FNAC.

The first one tells you which books are added to their personal bookshelves by FNAC subscribers. The second one yields the keywords that are typed by subscribers to launch their searches.

These two are just an "avant-goût" of what we're currently cooking along Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 lines. If you have any suggestions of applications in a digital library that would make your life easier, do not hesitate to share with us by leaving a message on this blog :-)
