The term 'digital rights management' (DRM) refers to a set of technologies used to protect copyright and intellectual property rights in digital content. DRM systems control how digital media, such as music, e-books, and software, is accessed, copied, and distributed. By enforcing usage restrictions, DRM helps prevent piracy and unauthorized distribution. While DRM can safeguard creators' rights, it can also provoke user frustration due to limitations on fair use and device compatibility, presenting a layered challenge for content providers.
