Digital rights management prohibit unauthorized copying and redistribution of copyrighted content by protecting copyrighted digital media. 

Certain technologies are used by DRM to restrict consumers from copying the digital content they have purchased. Digital rights management software is used to form a barrier between the consumers and the digital content and restricts the consumer from misusing it. The need to check whether someone has violated the terms of use can be eliminated by this as they can't copy or redistribute content in the first place.

Digital content creators focus on digital rights management due to the increasing online piracy and the rising popularity of peer-to-peer file sharing.

Always-on DRM, Product keys, Limited install activation, Regional lockout, Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM), Software tampering and EDRM are different types of digital rights management technologies that can be used depending on the kind of digital content you are planning to protect. Multiple DRM technologies can be used at the same time to maximize protection.

Digital rights management can help maintain your right to ownership and prevent users from saving, editing, or sharing your content. Companies will have control access to their confidential information by using digital rights management. Publishers can view when and who viewed or downloaded their content. User access can be activated or revoked at any time.
