Brilliant Digital Entertainment and Altnet are still trying to come up with ways to make money out of their TrueNames DRM project. Their latest efforts look remarkably like a phishing exercise, almost akin to those Nigerian scams in which industrious scribes send out messages meant to hook the unwary into paying for, well, nothing. In Altnet’s case, an industrious lawyer has been sending out circulars designed to hook the unwary and/or unwise into paying for, well, nothing.
