DRM technologies

Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies are tools used by content creators and publishers to protect digital media—such as music, movies, e-books, and software—from unauthorized copying, sharing, or use. DRM encrypts or restricts access to the content, ensuring only paying customers or authorized devices can view or play it. This helps content owners control distribution, prevent piracy, and enforce licensing rules. While DRM can sometimes inconvenience legitimate users, its primary goal is to safeguard intellectual property and ensure creators are compensated for their work.
