- 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.
