Client-Server != DRM

However, I think your above definition can paint a really broad stroke. Is DRM really simply any way of controlling access that's otherwise possible? In the past, I've seen DRM more defined as a software based way of recognizing rights, and then allowing code execution through local means, authenticating server, or whatever. But, if DRM is simply an intentional restriction in any form barring access to some rather than others, when the access is physically possible, then poverty is incredible DRM because those sneaky developers added a price, no?

No. My definition already assumes you have both the code, and the machine executing the code, so things like price or distribution are completely irrelevant.
