DRM
January 9, 2008Not being able to do what you want, with what you fully own. This is DRM. The average computer user, probably knows little, or has even heard of DRM. Well, it’s time to find out. Taken from Wikipedia:
“Digital rights management (DRM) is an umbrella term that refers to access control technologies used by publishers and copyright holders to limit usage of digital media or devices. It may also refer to restrictions associated with specific instances of digital works or devices. To some extent, DRM overlaps with copy protection, but DRM is usually applied to creative media (music, films, etc.) whereas copy protection typically refers to software.”
I personally, think DRM should no longer exist. I help in the fight against DRM. I want to be able to do whatever I like, with what I legally purchase. I want a world without DRM. I want you to join the fight.
I searched, and found a well organized site explaining more about DRM. Then, I found a similar site which helps defeat DRM: DefectiveByDesign.
/If you want to truely own what you purchase, help abolish DRM./
