What is DRM? Digital Restrictions Management
Big Media describe DRM as Digital Rights Management. However, since its purpose is to restrict you the user, it is more accurate to describe DRM as Digital Restrictions Management. DRM Technology can restricts users’ access to movies, music, literature and software, indeed all forms of digital data. Unfree software implementing DRM technology is simply a prison in which users can be put to deprive them of the rights that the law would otherwise allow them.
~~~When we moved back to NZ we had to buy another DVD player because our prefectly sound DVD player was region 2 and NZ is region 4. This was not done with video tapes. Seems to be an unethical method of selling more DVD players and/or DVD's. Our Apple MacBook could be changed to region 4 but only 5 times so it is now stuck at region 2.
