Dr Richard M Marshall

I've always liked to build things. Since I outgrew Lego I've been building software, development teams and most recently companies.

I'm Founder and CTO of Rapid Mobile Media Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. We founded the company in February 2004. We mobilise applications, but are now focussing on Ad360 Mobile Advertising Platform.

I like to think of us as creating mobile applications that people actually use, but we go much deeper than that.

This blog, however, is much more about my observations on the last frontier, the world of mobile technology. And anything else that crosses my path.

Down with DRM

I’ve read a lot of people recently complaining about DRM, and will having been annoyed that I couldn’t copy a CD onto a minidisc to listen to it in the car, I’d never really been that annoyed about it. And I’d rather pay for music as that way people will continue to make it for me.
However today, after listing to a wonderful piece of Penguin Cafe Orchestra music on Radio 3 Breakfast, I decided to go hunt on iTunes for it. Lots of it. But then I can’t put it onto the PCs, my phone, or anything else. Grrrr. So now I get it.

Down with DRM!
