I was attempting to stream a video from wwe.com and WMP 9 gave me a message saying that my DRM (Digital Rights Management) rights need to be updated in order to play this protected file.
I've been hearing people bashing DRM for quite some time because of security problems etc.
So I was wondering if soemone here could tell me what problems there are with DRM and if I should hit the magic "OK" button in order to update it.

However, the other half believe it to be some sort of eveil hellspawn of programming that is practically a trojan.
