Digital Rights Management (DRM)
Digital Rights Management (DRM) refers to technologies and practices used to protect digital content, like music, movies, and e-books, from unauthorized use and distribution. DRM helps creators and businesses control how their content is accessed and shared, preventing piracy and ensuring they receive fair compensation. For example, DRM may restrict how many devices you can download a movie onto or limit the ability to copy or share a file. While it aims to safeguard intellectual property, DRM can also create frustration for consumers who want flexibility with the content they purchase.
