JMich: A CD-Key is not DRM, unless said key is checked against a database.
Definition of DRM (for me) is that if I have a hardware relevant to the game isolated in a bunker, I can play that game without needing to contact a 3rd party.
CD-Keys do not depend on 3rd parties, so they are not DRM.
Unless you also count manuals as DRM, like the case of Master of Orion, The Savage Empire, or Eye of the Beholder.
That's makes no sense at all
Definitions are facts, not personal choices, as I've said the fact something other than buying the game is required before you can access all features, makes it DRM, not how hard to get around it is, not who made it, only the fact that without using the DRM you can't Play all the available Content.
Wikipedia defines it thus
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a class of technologies that are used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders, and individuals with the intent to control the use of digital content and devices after sale; there are, however, many competing definitions. With first-generation DRM software, the intent is to control copying; With second-generation DRM, the intent is to control executing, viewing, copying, printing and altering of works or devices. The term is also sometimes referred to as copy protection, copy prevention, and copy control, although the correctness of doing so is disputed. DRM is a set of access control technologies.
I rephrase it thus
Anything that controls your access to content after a legal purchase is DRM. This is not my Definition, it is the definition.
The wording is mine, I choose them for clarity, where a Legal department, might choose other words, but the definition is the same however worded. It's a fact, not an opinion.
You, confuse the two of them, Whether DRM is made by a 3rd party or not, makes no difference to it's existance.
That's like saying only Nvidia Graphics cards are really Graphics Cards and just as inaccurate.
