I had the opportunity to present the preliminary concepts of DRM and whats to do with eBook Piracy at the Session #4 Titled "DRM and Combating Book Piracy in the Digital Age". It was scheduled for 12:15PM, but finally started at 1:30PM on the Day-2.

The session was chaired by Mr. Mustafa Jabbar ( Bijoy) , fellow speakers were Mr.A.K. Sabbir Mahbub ( Chairman@Dev.net ) and an Advocate from India.
I explained how "DRM" is rather enabling all-parties to do what they are entitled (legal) to do, it can enable us so that each party in the supply chain gets paid for their effort. Authors could eventually focus on their writings and less on worry over the uncertainty of royalty.
Authors can get a direct feedback from their readers.
DRM is a Ever-Improving project, since we started Boipoka at MobioApp.com our web site has been hacked once and the Android app has been hacked twice. We been constantly improving our offerings to overcome these challenges.
Currently for each 5 ebook sales, we sell one in India.
Bangladesh Copyright Act-2000/2005 had put the cornerstones for the Authors to claim "Ownership" of their work just like any other property. This allows the authors to allow others to use the property within certain guidelines. This also chalks out the penalties in case of "Breach". While this is not adequate but just enough to give the DRM-Pirates, Bootleggers a good run for their reputation.
The presentation slides are here. Please use them if you need but do-site this blog in credits.
