Digital Rights Management (DRM): A set of access control technologies used by publishers, copyright holders, and individuals to restrict the ways in which proprietary content can be utilized and distributed. DRM systems are designed to prevent unauthorized copying and sharing of digital media and manage the rights of users to access eBooks, music, films, software, and other digital content. These technologies can enforce limitations such as the duration of access, the devices on which content can be viewed, and the number of times content can be accessed or copied. While DRM helps protect intellectual property rights, it also raises concerns about user rights, fair use, and interoperability.
