I'm glad to see someone else raise this issue.  I tried to open a PMR at one
time and got nowhere.

It's an outrage how much EXTRA money we pay for DRM, and it doesn't support
bulk checkout.

Maybe now that there is a third party (AUTOVAULT) providing some competition
for DRM, Tivoli will have an incentive to do better...

My opionions and nobody else's,
