DRM is Digital Rights Management, it is a way of protecting copyrighted
material in digital age. It has come about due to the easy of copying material
using digital methods. Basically the DRM encryption will limit usage of the file
to certain hardware that is compatible with DRM encryption. This does not
mean that a DRM encrypted file cannot be downloaded to Non-DRM
compatible hardware only that the file will not play.
DRM can also be used to set the number of times that file can be burned to
CD, how many different pieces of hardware/equipment it can be copied to etc.
In the most recent version of the DRM (DRM10) there is also an option to set
how long the file can be used for. This time restriction is a method that is
currently used by some Music Download websites.
