In this recent post about criticism regarding built-in DRM in Intels SandyBridge processors, Intel denies that there's any DRM in Sandybridge processors but goes on to say that

Intel created Intel insider, an extra layer of content protection. Think of it as an armoured truck carrying the movie from the Internet to your display, it keeps the data safe from pirates, but still lets you enjoy your legally acquired movie in the best possible quality

I'm confused now. So far I was thinking DRM is content protection. Can someone shed light on this?

DRM = Content Protection

No matter what spin they put on it, that is most definitely DRM.

Taken from http://www.techterms.com/definition/drm :

DRM refers to a collection of systems used to protect the copyrights of electronic media. These include digital music and movies, as well as other data that is stored and transferred digitally.
