Just what we don’t need.. DRM, especially tied to hardware is always a bad idea. Not only is it needlessly restrictive to the creative process these industries OWE THEIR VERY EXISTENCE TO – but they’re frequently based on flawed or buggy code.
DRM, or Digital Rights Management is also a misleading term. These systems don’t MANAGE the rights at all.. they just restrict fair usage. It should really be called Gratuitously Restricted Electronic Entertainment Detention or GREED for short.
