Every Tuesday, Infoblog will attempt to explain or define a term that is being used today. Today's term is DRM.
DRM
DRM (or Digital Rights Management) is a broad term used to describe a number of techniques for restricting the free use and transfer of digital content. Typically, a DRM system protects intellectual property by either encrypting the data so that it can only be accessed by authorized users or marking the content with a digital watermark or similar method so that the content can not be freely distributed. Supporters of DRM argue that without a means of encrypting digital content so that only the original purchasers have access, pirating will continue unabated.

YouTube... ah that little website that has caught everyones attention and caused them to be late for work. Well if you think thats a time waster, you haven't seen anything yet.
I recently began beta testing a program called Joost (formally The Venace Project) and I've got to say, it has my attention. It was developed by and Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis (creators of Kazaa and Skype) along with about 150 software developers starting in 2006. In a sentence, its a P2P TV application that is supposed to bring you visual media at near television resolution.
