That just indicates, that "poor head doesn't gives peace for hands".
Forcing DRM in senseless meaning and wrong way is similar to building
another "Berlin wall" with all its headaches, destructive overheads
(resources, moneys, etc) and stupidity.
Unfortunately, America as government, based on big companies, faster
and faster tend to drop its freedom for "safety", which in practice gives
lost of peoples rights, privacy, personal moneys. Only big companies wins
(they think, that they wins) - Walt Disney Company forces increasing
copyright time to 70 years in try to hold rights over Mickey Mouse image,
but this not saves WDC, instead causing lost for all others. MS DRM
implementation (also as region zones in DVD) is trying to enforce protection
of big companies over copyrighted work (read: over things, which some
producers marked as "our property"), but the only result of this, as I say
above, is lost of resources, moneys, safety, etc. (Unofficially, currently
all DVD player manufacturers allow free change of DVD region). Sacrifice of
WDM is between losts.
But let close this theme, WDM, DRM and other such things are (yet)
topics outside DOS world.
