It is suggested that place restrictions of any kind overlap with privacy TRUs, and can be contrasted from alternative anonymity examples and from the public area generally. By saying "use this here" a restrictive creator inherently carves off boundaries between consumers and the rest of the world around them.

A prime example is the control that a production company first releasing a new movie exercises as to show locations. At least, as was the case before the Internet.

Also, some cultures consider certain locations holy and most commonly perform, express and sing certain compositions primarily in those locations, for example church choirs. In fact, many governmental functions are similarly configured, for example militaristic displays with mark-bearing shields.

Although there might be many opportunities for which it was possible to support authorial restrictions of place, it should be noted that these could interfere with privacy and TRU political freedom.

Clearly some restriction could be made that DMP DM was to be consumed on DMP-compatible devices, which is a manner of place restriction in itself.

Support for TRU of regional pricing also would include TRU to restrict place of use to some degree.

Note possibility of supporting types of entertainment predicated on place-restriction, such as electronic tour guides or navigational content.

In many ways, support for this TRU is entirely a matter of REL granularity, that is to say that access restrictions should be sufficiently fine-grained to give creators good alternatives to choose from.
