DRM, or Digital Rights Management, refers to a set of technologies used to control how digital content is used and distributed. It helps protect the rights of creators and publishers by preventing unauthorized copying, sharing, or modification of their work. Commonly applied to music, movies, and e-books, DRM ensures that users can only access content in ways that the rights holders allow. While DRM aims to safeguard intellectual property, it can also limit user experience. For instance, it may restrict the ability to play purchased content on different devices or prevent sharing with friends. This balance between protection and accessibility is a key debate in the digital age.
