This just allows DRM files to be played, and might mean Ovi Music support, or stuff in Silverlight (provided there is Silverlight support). IOW compatibility reasons.
It does not imply you suddenly don't own your device anymore. It merely means Windows Media DRM works out of the box.
Although I do wonder how they're gonna avoid tampering. Because DRM can always be circumvented.

Probably means it has drm mechanisms in place that meet standards for playing that drm file. Not that it would block you from non drm files.

I buy all my digital music from Amazon anyway.

But it's a pity. There was a chance for Nokia to endorse alternative music models here. If iTunes can successfully sell DRM-free songs, why not Nokia?

Although nowhere does it say its only for Ovi Music.
I want DRM and Silverlight (or Mono) on my Maemo device because I want to see broadcasts of e.g. football and olympics while traveling. For the rest, I won't use it.

The slide came via UMPC, but doesn't expand on it.
Is this restricting or just allowing drm files?
