DRM

My two takes on the famous acronym "DRM", which the dictionaries I have checked define as "Digital Rights Management" [1] are as follows:

  • DRM : "To this Digital material, you seem to have absolutely no Rights, and it will be Managed accordingly"
  • DRM : "We have provided you Digital material, which we have all Rights to Manage in such a way that it is unusable by you"

Good thing we have a predence-setting ruling [2] here i Norway, by the Norwegian Consumer Council, that basilcally concludes that DRM is counter to Norwegian trade law..

American Psychological Association (APA):

DRM. (n.d.). digital rights management
