Of course you are correct, technically. But everyone understands what is meant. What does stopping the conversation to point out a technical detail add to the discussion?

I used to grouse about people saying 'ATM machine' or 'PIN number', but don't any longer.
Technically, it is DRM. It fits all three. It is digital, it is for the rights of the author and it is for managing those rights.

So yes a watermark is DRM in its simplest form.

Sorry but HarryT is 100% correct.
