CARLSBAD Â- Allison Crouch says she's tired of having to move. Twice recently, Crouch and her children have found out their landlord plans to sell the home they had been renting. Rent has been costly, homes are scarce, and each successive search for a new residence has been more difficult. "I'm just having a really hard time," said Crouch, who works at New Mexico State University- Carlsbad. "There are lots of other people like me, I am sure." Rent has skyrocketed to around $800 a month, Crouch said, and she is currently unable to afford or locate suitable lodging for herself and her children. Organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Department of Housing and Urban Development can only help so many people. "We need some more community awareness about this. I'm not the only one in this situation," she said.

The Digital Living Network Alliance will roll out its first guidelines for copy protection at the end of October, aimed at setting a standard for link-level content security across a home network. The group will require use of the Digital Transmission Copy Protection over Internet Protocol (DTCP-IP) as a basis for interoperability among digital rights management (DRM) systems. DLNA will make use of Microsoft's Windows Media DRM for Network Devices (WMDRM-ND) as an option for systems to gain access to additional content, said Scott Smyers, president and chairman of DLNA at a digital-home conference here on Thursday (Oct 12). Details of the guidelines will be posted at the group's Web site by the end of the month. The DLNA has not yet defined what its logo for link-level security will look like.
