Earlier this month, I blogged about the GP2X, a powerful Linux-based handheld computer, and raised questions about the DRM it incorporated. I have heard from "Craig," who works for the UK distributor of the device, who says,
Gamepark Korea don't understand
English very well and have used the term 'DRM' without realising
its impact in the West and its accociation with corporate evil.
The DRM in question is a use-restriction mechanism that the manufacturer offers to some game developers. However, Craig says that this system does not include any tamper-resistance measures, nor any renewability mechanisms that can be used to downgrade devices after they are in the field.
(Thanks, Craig!)
