Aboriginal archive offers new DRM

This article from the BBC News describes the Mukurtu Wumpurrarni-kari Archive, developed by a community based in Australia's Northern Territory, and the degrees of access people have to parts of the archive based on who they are. Access to particular material is based on culturally-specific norms such as what sex the user is, what community the user is from, and whether an image being viewed is of a person from the user's family (family members cannot view images of deceased relatives).
