The term 'digital rights management' (DRM) signifies a set of technologies and policies designed to protect copyrighted digital content from unauthorized use and distribution. DRM techniques include encryption, access controls, and licensing agreements that restrict how users can interact with digital media, such as music, videos, and e-books. The primary goal of DRM is to prevent piracy and ensure that content creators receive fair compensation for their work. While DRM protects intellectual property, it has also sparked debates about consumer rights and access to digital content.
