It's that simple. Hardly a perfect system, but better than the present mess. That is true social DRM. Not quite so clear in some people's opinion if there is encryption involved. That can make things less open--indeed, proprietary. True social DRM would be nonproprietary and work across diff platforms without the same hassles. Thanks.
