Digital Rights Management and Windows Media Player
Digital rights management (DRM) is gaining importance as an enabling technology for electronic commerce in digital goods. The purpose of a DRM system is to allow the owners of digital assets (e.g. movies, songs) to distribute these assets electronically in a controlled way. After a general introduction to DRM technology, this paper discusses special properties of video content and their impact on DRM. Finally, the paper describes the Windows Media Rights Manager—the DRM system used in Windows Media Technologies for audio and video content.
