@furinick I could see something along that line happening. Emergency rooms (at least in a couple I've seen) have all their medical supplies, including bandages, in a locked cabinet that has to be opened with either a passcode or the ER staffer's ID card. Imagine a newer version of this cabinet with an automatic dispensing system where the bandages are in sealed modules ("for your safety"). Now imagine that you can ONLY buy refill modules from the cabinet manufacturer. If that manufacturer is backordered on refills, or has replaced that model with one using incompatible modules, then yes, DRM could kill you.
