[Irtalk] What is DRM? | Defective by Design

[Hilton Gibson]

This concentrates all power over the distribution of media into the hands
of a few companies. For example, DRM gives ebook sellers the power to
remotely delete all copies of a book, to keep track of what books readers
are interested in and, with some software, even what notes they take in
their books.
