Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is any technology that is built
|
||||||
|
into an electronic product or service with the aim of limiting its
|
||||||
|
use. It is designed to prevent customers from using digital
|
||||||
|
technology in ways that do not correspond to the business agenda of a
|
||||||
|
content provider or device manufacturer.

<a href="/activities/drm/drm.html">Digital Restrictions
|
||||||
|
Managements</a> often restricts individuals from doing things that
|
||||||
|
are perfectly legal, so we might not be able to put together a mix of
|
||||||
|
music files we bought legally, or to lend an e-book to a friend. Even
|
||||||
|
backups can be restricted. Restrictions management technology removes
|
||||||
|
basic rights and freedoms in the digital world. All DRM systems have
|
||||||
|
one thing in common: They give businesses control over things that
|
||||||
|
we, the owners, should be in control of. For example, businesses
|
||||||
|
decide how often we can play the movies we paid for and what kind of
|
||||||
|
files we can read on our e-book reader.

Free Software is software that puts the user in control of their own
|
||||||
|
devices. In contrast, DRM Digital Restrictions Management is
|
||||||
|
technology to put the user under control of a third party: these two
|
||||||
|
goals are fundamentally incompatible.
