Always online does not equal DRM
by General Vagueness 
, The Vault of Sass, Friday, March 22, 2013, 22:17 (4273 days ago) @ Xenos
I think I see what's going on. Cody's not arguing intent or purpose, just what DRM is, or what it means, and what it means in a relatively literal sense. Personally, it's hard to disagree with him much on those grounds, and even if you don't take it that literally at all. I'll say this though: Cody, I think you're being too pedantic for these nice people. I say that having been on the other side of this many times.
