For DRM, in a rare occurrence, the demon extends beyond Redmond.  I like
the more general 'Digital Restrictions Management' expansion of the TLA. It
is not about rights, but about restrictions.   Via technology, the
content providers are restricting the legal rights that I have over the
content I purchase.  The very rights that have been affirmed by the Supreme
Court of this great country of ours.
