This means that there should be a sticker on the front of all DRM protected CDs/DVDs that clearly states not only that protection is used, but also which protection is used.
When Generic Teenage Angst Band #41268 sees that their DRM protected CDs aren't selling at all, and they also see that the Generic Angst bands without DRM protected CDs are selling, maybe they'll put their foot down and illicit change within the companies they are contracted to.
In this day and age, with the way money controls politics, the only reliable way to vote is with your dollar.
