Ed Felten says DRM advocates are moving away from claiming that DRM is about copyright and toward bare claims about business strategy.

I recall Fritz Attaway seeming to agree. Deep Links found someone from Universal abandoning the "copyright" claim.

From attending some DRM meetings, I suggest that the code words to watch for are "business models" (cf. Cory's comment on this rhetoric), "rich" ("rich set of rights", "rich set of choices"), and "consumer choice" (as among a set of versioned information products, a la the advice to sellers in Information Rules). But the main term seems to be "business models" and "new business models" and "variety of business models".
