Is DRM the "stocks of the nineties"?

I remember back in the days when CNBC would play in restaurants in the silicon valley. Everybody became more educated about stocks, etc.

Sometimes I wonder if DRM will also enter our vocabulary in a similar fashion...

For exemple, will users be confronted with the Vista DRM or will it remain transparent?

If not that, how about the fact you can't take you Play for Sure songs and add them to your Zune? Or the Sony CD DRM fiasco...

Then again, stocks were maybe a bit more exciting :)
