DRM, a poor explanation (part II)

This is a follow-up to my post DRM, a poor explanation.

The language on the page in question has been changed. It now reads:

"The Windows Media Security Upgrade is a one-time process that must be performed before Microsoft Windows Media Player will allow any DRM-protected files to be played. A security measure, the security update identifies the copy of Windows Media Player with the computer on which the Player is being used. Publishers often require this sort of security in order to discourage the unlawful redistribution of digital content."

This is much better. I still don't like DRM as it gives power to the content provider that was traditionally the library's, but at least the explanation is accurate now.
