DRM in Hebrew
The writers at the Walla news portal site did it quite well when they coined the Hebrew acronym for Digital Rights Managment as נז"ק. For those who don't know Hebrew, נזק can also directly translate to the word that stands for 'damage'.
So, Kudos to Walla, or whoever originally came up with this acronym.
The Walla article refers to this this blog entry of a blog named "A Copyfighter's Musings". According to this entry, the DRM technology of many legal music download sites has been cracked which means that all the media downloadable from any of these sites (such as PlayForSure and Napster) can be distributed freely on P2P networks after applying the removal of the DRM protection.
If you want to read some insightful posts about Copyright and the sorry state of it, you can check out the first posts at Eyal "Lotex" Lotem's blog..
