5. Dishonesty!!

    Your hypocrisy is staggering. Are you a troll?

    Did you know that Sony would bundle rootkits on non-free music audio CDs?  A rootkit is a cracker tool (please do not confuse ``cracker'' with ``hacker'', the latter having no negative connotations, as it only means ``someone who  enjoys playful cleverness—not necessarily with computers'',) in other words -- malware.  Would you call pointing a weapon at someone to gain compliance ``managing'' them?  I would call that enslaving them.  And what this malware was for?  Definitely not to give you the freedom to exercise any rights -- in fact, it was meant to restrict them.

    So the issue is very clear.  ``DRM'' has always meant Digital Restrictions Malware.  Only the vendors of digital restrictions (and those astroturfing for them, I guess) claim that this acronym means something else.  They are the ones who are guilty of making a dishonest redefinition: those digital slavers have the gall to claim that they manage your rights while they take them away!
