| Ban DRM: The Liberal Party states that anyone who has bought the right
| to use a product needs a technologically neutral way of using it. This
| means that distributors can not control how citizens wish to play
| back legally bought digital music. The Liberal Party wants to
| prohibit technical limitations on consumers' legal rights to freely
| use and distribute information and culture, collectively known as DRM.
| In cases where a ban on DRM would be outside Norwegian jurisdiction,
| products that use DRM technology need to clearly specify their scope
| of use before they are sold.
