Defective by design.
- orionblastar 11y agoDRM is defective by design. I first saw the Hue lightbulbs on SyFy with the 12 Monkeys show. It syncs up lighting to your show. I knew I didn't need that and it would be trouble later on. Now I know the devices lock out third party bulbs.
- josho 11y agoLet's start redefining DRM as what it truly is: Digital *Restrictions* Management
- scrollaway 11y agoDefective Restrictions Module ;)
- TeMPOraL 11y agoNo need to redefine anything. DRM works as advertised (lame pun intended) - it manages rights to a product or service. The thing is, the default assumption that "I bought it = I own it" is often no longer the case. Most people just didn't notice. DRM makes it painfully obvious that you don't have the rights you thought you had.
- endgame 11y agoIt's about the only renaming that the FSF has ever got to catch on. It's more accurate than the original and doesn't sound like a playground taunt.
