Subject: "DRM"
I wish people would drop the term "DRM." It was coined by those who
wish to claim as "rights" some things which are not actually their
rights, or are at best contested. In other words, the "R" in the
term "DRM" begs an important legal question. I wish people would
instead use the term "TPM" (Technological Protection Measures)
because at least it is neutral on whether or not those who deploy
them have a "right" to do what they're doing in locking up
information. And TPM happens to be the term used in the WIPO
treaties, too.
BTW, I don't like to read on the list advertisements for people's
forthcoming articles. To me that is spam. There are plenty of
sources that inform us what is in the literature.
