I wonder how the incorporation of  "digital rights" capabilities will

with the real records management issues based on the announcement on
Stellant's acquisition.  Anyone want to begin taking bets?

According to the press release I saw, the digital rights components will 
"allow records and retention rules to move with the content, wherever it 
goes... even if the document has been stored locally or emailed...". From 
information at the SealedMedia site (www.sealedmedia.com), it appears that 
users will need to load special software on any external devices (laptops, 
etc.) that hold the records; the software will communicate with a license 
server, presumably to enforce whichever access or retention rules apply to 
the records in question. Sounds too good to be true, or rather, sounds too 
good to be true to life. ;)
