DRM is a complete lie: "Let's look at the shattering success of every DRM solution to date. Every single one has failed. The score card is hundreds if not thousands against, zero for. Name me one song, movie or software title that is DRM infected that has not found it's way to the net within a week of release, usually long before release."
About Me
Hello you. I'm a 38-year old MSc student, studying Advanced Computer Science at Sussex University. I'm especially interested in Internet and mobile software, sensors and pervasive computing, user interfaces, and the process of developing great software.
Before that I spent 11 years running Future Platforms, a software company I co-founded which makes lovely things for mobile phones, and which I sold to Vexed Digital in 2011.
I read a lot, write here, and practice Aikido and airsoft. I live in Brighton, a seaside town on the south coast of the UK, with two cats and a clown.

That might make some sense if somewhere someone explained what DRM is.
Anyone? Anyone?
Bueller?

DRM is digital Rights (or Restrictions) Management. Basically a technological mechanism to prevent you using some random bits and bytes (which might happen to be the latet hollywood film) in the same way you can use anything else that's digitial, like your word files for eg.
