What is the Digital Rights Management (DRM)?

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a type of software technology used by creators of digital content, such as movies, music, and books, to control how their content is used and distributed. In North Carolina, DRM technology is used to protect copyrighted works by indicting the users who attempt to copy, modify, or delete the content. DRM technology also prevents users from printing, copying, and sharing the copyrighted work with others. For example, if an eBook is protected by DRM, then it can only be read on the device that it was originally downloaded to, and can’t be shared with friends or family. DRM is not a type of copyright, but rather a form of enforcement of existing copyright law. It helps to ensure that the creator’s exclusive rights to their work are not infringed upon by unauthorized users. DRM technology also allows for the creators of digital content to be properly compensated for their works, which helps to further safeguard their legal rights.
