What’s DRM?

Digital Rights management. Or, Die Roll Modifier, if you're an old-school gamer. :-)

Digital Rights Management. RIAA-like entities stand behind you watching and if you do something they don't like it deliberately degrades your drivers, among other things.

You end up paying for "licenses" to use some AV formats, etc.

> What’s DRM?
DRM short for digital rights management, it a means by which Hollywood, the RIAA and anyone else who thinks your sole purpose in life is to steal their copyrighted property, can load your PC up with bloatware that slows everything down while is keeps you from enjoying what you paid good money to possess.
