blog.wired.com — People don't like DRM, perhaps that's just because it's such a smelly word. HBO's chief technology officer Bob Zitter thinks so, he wants to ditch the term DRM in favor of "DCE," or, "Digital Consumer Enablement." HBO's top techie said the new term would better describe all the peachy ways that DRM... er, DCE could be used.

How about "Rights And Protection Interlock for New Gizmos and Technology, Hackproofing Encryption to Create the Omniscient Network to See Underhanded Means that Evade Restrictions" Kind of just rolls off the tongue...

Why not keep "DRM"?The meaning could just be changed to Digital Rectal Molestation.

"Digital Consumer Enablement?"War is Peace. Slavery is freedom. Ignorance is strength.
