I am not sure what difference, if any, this makes to what was discussed
in Coventry-- er, at Warwick, but I'm forwarding it for information.

I just read about this in Clari News--it concerns a technology
that IBM is promoting for publishers to control their rights,
royalties, etc.
IBM cryptolopes, or "encrypted envelopes," provide information in
sealed containers that include a description of the contents, the size
of the file, any coupons or other promotions associated with the
information, and use and pricing info... These are supposed to be
available for trial from the IBM web site and infoMarket in April.
