PART 1 - WHERE IT FITS
DRM is part of a larger effort by content providers and distributors to identify and control their content. While it's a fundamental locus for content control, it's not the only one.
1. Internal Control (DRM) - the use (authorization) and control (playing, copying, writing to CD, etc) of media inside a controlled environment. This can be in the file, in the client (like the media player), via server, in the OS (as Microsoft would try to do), or some combination. I would consider any such strategy that enforces publisher business rules to be DRM.
2. Acquisition Control - when external media is introduced to a controlled environment like a media player or downloaded via P2P. Control is exerted by restricting imported media (like blocking all mp3 files) or qualifying it, such as by filtering out copyrighted files.
3. Interdiction Control - making unauthorized content difficult for other parties to obtain. One example is inserting bogus files on P2P networks.

I am Javier, the founder of Trendirama.com, the fastest growing community of amateur writers writing about The Future of everything. We would like to invite you to join us and write an article on the website, perhaps "The future of DRM" or on whatever you are passionate about...
It is up to you, you choose the subject.
You would get a link back when you link to your own article, if you wish.
You can even re-use some of what you have here, in the last part of the article, "your view and comments". That would save you time and still be interesting for readers.
And yes, I know you may not have the time. Theoretically, none of us do...;)
Failing that, if you like the project and you can help us spread the word -even if you don't write- it would be great.
Since we are starting, any help is appreciated.
By making this valuable information available online for free, I truly believe we are helping to make the world a better place.
And you could do your bit for the world too, by sharing what you know, as we already do.
Please let us know if you link or mention us, so we can link you back too if you wish.
You can even use our valuable articles on your websites, provided that you link back. Any better offer than that?! :)
Look forward to hearing from you or reading your interesting article at Trendirama!
Best regards
Javier Marti
