DRM is a form of access control.  User and group permissions are also a
form of access control.  Disagreeing with the philosophy behind one or
the other does not change its technical nature.  Also, I do know what an
authorization system is, which is why it is clear (at least to me) that
DRM is just an authorization system.  Which definition do you have in
mind where DRM is not an authorization system?
