Digital Rights Management

“Before owners of premium digital media content will offer their valuable content for sales or promotion, a secure e-commerce system that protects digital content from illegal use is needed. A critical component of any such e-commerce system is Digital Rights Management (DRM).”

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a set of technologies used by content owners to protect their copyright while staying in close contact with their customers. In most instances, a DRM system encrypts digital media content and limit access to only those people who have acquired a proper license to access it. That is, DRM is technology that enables the secure distribution, promotion, and sales of digital media content on the Internet.
