For those of you who can read German: Germanys most important weekly newspaper, DIE ZEIT, has an excellent article about the Sony DRM Rootkit. It seems that the pro-DRM campaign by the large music rights holding houses is showing signs of wear and tear.
Indeed, the article contains the sentence
Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) ist dafür das Fachwort, und eine Fülle
(inkompatibler) Lösungen und Teil-Standards existiert dafür inzwischen.
("Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is the technical term for this, and a multitude of (incompatible) solutions and partial standards exist by now.")
So it seems the time for DRM euphemism is indeed coming to an end.
