[FSUG-Bangalore] Join the DRM Elimination Crew now !

[പ്രവീണ്‍‌|Praveen]

Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is a technology that affects all users
of computers, media players, mobile phones and other devices.

"'Your devices don't trust you!' is the basic message of DRM. In fact they
trust you so little that they will not even tell you that they put you under
surveillance," says Joachim Jakobs, FSFE's media coordinator.

"If consumers even know there's a DRM, what it is, and how it works, we've
already failed," says Peter Lee, an executive at Disney.

"DRM technologies are based on the principle that a third party has more
influence over your devices than you, and that their interests will override
yours when they come in conflict. That is even true where your interest is
perfectly legitimate and legal, and possibly also for your own data,"
explains Georg Greve, FSFE's president.
