+\item Digital Restrictions Management (usually called \defn{DRM}) is often
+  used to impose technological restrictions on users' ability to exercise
+  software freedom that they might otherwise be granted\footnote{See
+    \S~\ref{GPLv3s3} for more information on how GPL deals with this issue.}.
+  The simplest (and perhaps oldest) form of DRM, of course, is separating
+  software source code (read by humans), from their compiled binaries (read
+  only by computers).  Furthermore,
+  \href{http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201}{17 USC 1201} often
+  prohibits users legally from circumventing some of these DRM systems.
