Technological Protection Measures

Technological Protection Measures (TPMs) are technical tools or methods used to control access to or copying of digital content, like movies, music, or software. They are designed to prevent unauthorized distribution or piracy by restricting how the content can be used, copied, or shared. Examples include digital rights management (DRM) systems, encryption, and access controls. TPMs help creators and rights holders protect their intellectual property, ensuring they can earn revenue from their work while controlling how it is accessed and used.
