What is DRM?
Digital Rights Management (DRM systems) systems are used to manage your use of digital con- tent, and to protect digital content against un- authorised use.

Where is DRM used?
DRM can come in many different forms. They are embedded both in physical me-dia (i.e. CDs or DVDs) and in content distributed online, such as music files, e-books, texts, images and games distributed online, or video on demand. Online distribution can take place via the internet, interactive TV networks and wire- less communication. Some examples of services or products that use DRM are:

CDs or DVDs with electronic copy protection;
online services where you can download songs, videos, entire albums or electronic books, like iTunes, RealPlayer Music Store, Ciando, Movielink, Moviefone;
a DVD that can be played only in certain countries, not in others;
pay-TV, pay-per-view, or video-on-demand.

For example, the copy protection on a CD or DVD (i.e. offline media) is considered a DRM, as are encryption methods used in internet music stores (i.e. online media). This can lead to a song downloaded in a particular format, for example in Windows Media format, not being able to be reproduced on a popular player, such as an Apple iPod. In particular in connection with online media, DRM is generally used in combination with contracts; one task of DRM systems here is actually to enforce the contractual conditions on the extent of the utilisation opportunities.

DRM employs various techniques to manage and control the use of digital content, mainly en- crypting, marking or selective incompatibility:

Encryption: consumers can only access en- crypted information if they have a key. This key is often included in the hard or software you use to access the content. An example is a DVD player: it contains a key to play DVDs.
Marking: to communicate information about content – e.g. whether the data is copy pro- tected, who the holds the rights, and what uses are authorized – the data is marked by the rights holder prior to sale.
Selective incompatibility: by, for example, encoding errors into content on a CD, the manufacturer of the CD tries to determine whether a CD can be played in a computer, car radio, portable device, mobile phone, etc.
