Digital Rights Management (DRM)

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a set of access control technologies used by publishers, copyright holders, and individuals to impose limitations on the usage of digital content and devices. DRM technologies are designed to control how digital media files can be used, copied, and distributed, aiming to prevent copyright infringement and unauthorized redistribution. While DRM helps protect intellectual property rights, it has also sparked debates over user rights and the balance between protecting content and ensuring consumer access and usability.
