A couple of weeks ago I noted that music DRM is dead. While that is basically true, other forms of DRM are going strong, and not just in the world of online video content. The EFF produced a helpful report listing other forms of DRM that Apple uses to shackle its products. Consumers demanding fewer contractual and technical limitations on how they could use music that they purchased killed music DRM — hopefully consumer demand will wipe out other forms of DRM as well.
