I think names like that (and Digital Restrictions Management and all the others) just undermine the seriousness of their position. They sound like the playground taunts of children.
- ynniv 16y agoI'm not fond of the "iGroan", but Digital Restrictions Management is a great clarification of what the term means.
- RodgerTheGreat 16y agoIn the term "Digital Rights Management", the "Rights" refer to the rights of the copyright owner, not the rights of a consumer licensee. It's a lot like "Trusted Computing"- a surface reading might suggest it means the computer is "trustworthy" or dependable to the user, while it actually refers to a "Trusted System" in a security engineering sense.
