- jacquesm 17y agoDRM and physical properties are not applicable to the same objects. DRM refers to data+software to unlock that data. A physical device could be the carrier of a DRM'd piece of data but it has nothing to do with the carrier itself. Data is just streams of bits no matter what carrier they're on. That data could be encumbered with DRM or it could be 'plain'. You never 'own' a piece of DRM'd data, these are almost exclusively limited use sublicenses. It's not like buying a book or a record (the vinyl kind). It's more like buying a movie ticket.
