Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) has to be one of the worst possible re-uses of an acronym ever. This is the second time I've seen it used recently without an expansion of the acronym.
- themerone 1y agoDirect Rendering Manager doesn't predate the concept of digital rights management, but it might predate the widespread usage of the acronym. From I remember, back int the 90's, "copy protection", was the common term in use.
- hmry 1y agoBoth of them, "Digital Rights Management" as a term and the Direct Rendering Manager, are about the same age. The legal term for it, from the DMCA, "Technological Protection Measures", also conflicts with another acronym :)
