Who owns it, You or Digital Rights Management companies?

Restrictions on your property
Digital right management (DRM) is technology used to limit the purchasers freedom with certain products. It is used as an attempt to combat illegal copyright of the materials you you obtains legally. Most present day items contain some form of DRM so buyers can stay faithful to the sellers brand and products. Some examples of DRM include how I phone applications aren't compatible on droids, and that you can play a video game you brought on the platform of your choice.

DRM: How its Used
DRM is used as a form of encryption software that technology companies install on their products. The software prevents users from doing different things with their purchased materials like making copies, transferring music, and using another companies materials on their devices.

Killing Our Downloads Softly
Apple has been using DRM for years now. The very popular Ipods they make are only compatible with their brand of music player; Itunes. In addition you can only connect your Ipod to one Itunes, and if you connect it to another it will attempt to erase your whole music selection. This means that if you would like to get a song from your friends Itunes, which is perfectly legal, you will not be able to unless you are willing to sacrifice your entire collection of music. This forces you to buy the song for yourself even though you shouldn't be prompted to. I believe DRM is completely unfair and users should be free to do as they choose.
