One thing that does worry me is throwing the rights baby out with
the restrictions bathwater. In theory, rights management could
make it easier for free software supporters to adapt software and
keep all the licensing straight. So, I'm a bit uncomfortable with
talks about the GPLv3 technological measures preventions being
about DRM in general.

In practice, the only bit of DRM that is being pushed hard is the
restrictions side, so maybe it doesn't matter.

I thought it was more noticeable on close shots, but my eyes don't
work so well to notice eye detail on the group shots.
