I thinks it's reasonable to want to understand clearly what the subject is. If we don't agree on what DRM is, how can we discuss if it's good or bad?
For my part, I see watermarking as a form of DRM. I see it as a reasonable and inoffensive passive form, as opposed to the more intrusiveness and restrictive active forms. I also like the terms "hard" and "soft" that some folks used above. I assume that in most cases, when people say DRM unqualified, they are referring the the hard stuff.
