DRM: Controlling your music habits
Digital Rights Management.
With the major labels now making serious efforts to take their own particular Napsterized visions of music distribution to the masses, you're going to have a lot to do with DRM in the future. Essentially speaking, digital rights management means what you do and do not have the rights to do with digital media. In raw terms this means copying and distributing music, video and text. For publishers and/or holders of copyright, DRM software protects intellectual property and makes it possible to securely and flexibly package, sell, and distribute digital content. For listeners or viewers, DRM software will often limit what they can do with digital content. You may be able to purchase a song and then send it on to two people, each of whom may only be able to listen to it five times before they have to pay for additional listens. What you will and won't be able to do with your DRM downloads will be determined by someone other than you. Even if you pay the cash. That's the way things are these days... Recommended links:
