What is Digital Rights Management or DRM?
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a technology that can be applied to support content publishers, copyright holders and organizations to limit the viewing interaction of digital content across multiple platforms. The term is used to describe any technology that controls the use of digital content designated by the content owner and provider. DRM can also refer to viewer access and viewing restrictions associated with specific instances of digital works.
DRM technologies attempt to control use of digital content by preventing access, copying, credential forwarding or conversion to other formats by content users.
Digital Rights Management technologies have enabled publishers and any content provider to enforce access and viewing policies and permissions that not only disallow copyright infringements, but also prevent copying and unapproved creation of derivative works. DRM is most commonly used by the entertainment industry for protection from piracy of motion picture features and music recordings. Computer games sometimes use Digital Rights Management technologies to limit the number of systems the game can be installed on by requiring authentication with an online server. Most games with this restriction allow three or five installs, although some allow an installation to be 'recovered' when the game is uninstalled.
Trade and Educational Publishers have been transitioning to digital Electronic books (e-books) over the last couple of years that are distributed and read on a personal computer or an e-book reader typically use DRM restrictions to limit copying, printing, and sharing of e-books. E-books are usually limited to a certain number of reading devices and some e-publishers prevent any copying or printing.
There is a growing use of digital rights management protection and security to confidential documents and content within corporations and organizations of all sizes and in all market segments. Enterprise digital rights management (E-DRM or ERM) is the application of DRM technology for control of access to corporate documents and MS Office files, PDF, emails, rather than to the control of consumer media. E-DRM is generally intended to prevent the unauthorized use access and viewing of confidential and proprietary corporate documents.
