What is DRM

Digital restrictions management --DRM-- is software that controls how people use digital media. The free software movement --and Trisquel-- resists this kind of control.

You may have encountered DRM with proprietary software:

  1. you have a video on your laptop, and may not show it on a larger ("unauthorized") screen
  2. you buy an ebook on your phone, and may not read it on your computer
  3. and similiar controls with other media, including audio and videogames,

Remote deletion

From the New York Times' story on Amazon and 1984:

  • “It illustrates how few rights you have when you buy an e-book from Amazon,” said Bruce Schneier, chief security technology officer for British Telecom and an expert on computer security and commerce. “As a Kindle owner, I’m frustrated. I can’t lend people books and I can’t sell books that I’ve already read, and now it turns out that I can’t even count on still having my books tomorrow.”

Surveillance

DRM sometimes incorporates service-as-a-substitute-for-software (SaaSS). SaaSS raises surveillance concerns as a matter of course.

Like when the client software remembers which books you have read, and which page you are on. And saves that information on the vendor's server, instead of on your device.
