"Over 500 million people use the Internet, and over a billion computers are deployed around the world. It has become impossible to ignore the issue of content management and access. Call it Digital Rights Management if you will, or call it working out how to manage copying in the digital realm. We need to solve the problem of how digital information will be shared, and an equally important need to set open and wide reaching standards. It has been more than ten years since computers and the Internet really started to take off, and there is still no coherent approach to restricted (or unrestricted) information sharing. This is a serious problem."

DRM, 'Trusted Computing', and the Future of Our shareholders.
-Most people who download or copy dvd's wouldn't otherwise have bought an original.
-Most *wood movies can get million dollars of profit with the cinema displays alone.

DRM is everything but protecting vulnerable juvenals against ¨malignant¨ content.
Awkward enough today it's OK to experience atrocities such as war casualties,traffic accidents,etc via diverse media but a partly nude woman is out of topic.
It's highly hypocryte to see many life documentaries where the nude parts of a whatever victim are blinded out but you still may see their smashed body parts.
