You're nitpicking. DRM that I can remove in 20 seconds I don't count as DRM.

EDIT: Let me be more specific... what we have here is a formal logical fallacy, an equivocation (a more specific form of a misunderstanding). When you say DRM, your concept is something like definition A: "an electronic protection scheme". My concept would more closely match definition B: "an electronic protection scheme that restricts my use of purchased content". LIT DRM would fall under definition A, but not definition B; I can remove it in under 20 seconds, and therefore it does not impede on my uses of the content.

We define DRM differently.
