In the DRM model, car dealers would sell cars for a very low charge, then sell DRM'd petrol. That would be way funny, with all its inconveniencies.

Should we make it mandatory to display the DRM situation on the box before the purchase? I assume it's already done, in the form of "Recharge with our verified capsules for the highest standard of hygiene" in case of the cat litter box. It's not easy to inform consumers upfront in a meaningful way.




Car manufacturers are moving in this direction. Not with DRM fuel, but with the specialized maintenance machines required to read/reset the diagnostic codes on your car's onboard computer.
