I agree that this is a very interesting field. If vendors had to display whether something was covered by DRM or not there is a possibility people would feel less comfortable with the idea. I'm sure the marketing people have taglines: "DRM protected - to ensure your safety" "DRM assured" "DRM guaranteed" "Free bonus feature: DRM" The big question is how much awareness people have that DRM can be a negative thing. I was pretty surprised by people on the street in Zurich. While the majority didn't know what DRM was, those that took a moment to speak generally didn't like the idea at all. If we can get people to take a second to look at DRM (and if goods display when they are covered by DRM) I think we'd see increased pressure to move away from the technology.
