DRM

Digital rights management
|
Digital rights management is a term for access control technologies that can be used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders and individuals to limit the usage of digital content and devices. The use of digital rights management is controversial: proponents argue it is needed by copyright holders to prevent unauthorized duplication of their work, while some opponents, such as the Free Software Foundation (through its Defective By Design campaign), maintain that the use of the word "rights" is misleading and suggest that people instead use the term digital restrictions management. |
