DRM. Have so few letters ever inspired such fear in the hearts of librarians?
On the desk, I was flipping though the April 8, 2003 PC Magazine that was patiently waiting to be processed. Inside I found a good little article on DRM. If you don\’t know about DRM you might want to learn about it. For starters it is an acronym for Digital Rights Management. But I don\’t need to sit here insulting your intelligence. Read the article, which happens to have a nice DRM webliography.
