What is DRM? (In the context of copyright, please.)
Provide two examples of DRM implentations currently in use.
There are no recorded trackback links from other weblogs.
Digital Rights Management systems help protect copywritten material. It defines how the content can be used based on the specifications of the owner. Examples:
- Copyright commercials shown before movies
- Restriction of reading books aloud placed on some E-books
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. DRM used to use security and encryption methods in order to protect copyrighted content. Below are 2 examples of DRM implementations that are currently in use:
User Login/Password implementation programs are used for users to obtain licenses
Secure Payment options have also been implemented so users must first pay a specific fee before an account becomes viewable to that specific user.
DRM is Digital Rights Management to protect copyright content. I'm "old school" and have not been into this topic previously.

There is also other protections against such things

Microsoft has recently developed it, and it will allow users to access a wide range of purchase and rental options for digital media, and ensure the security of premium content as it flows from device to device.

Examples are Downloading music that you paid for to an Ipod or playing files in different audio players, passwords might be required.
Posted by: Tim Maiura on September 9, 2004 11:47 AM | Permalink to CommentDRM stands for digital rights management. It was developed by Microsoft to ensure secure delivery of digital content. Examples of this is almost any music site that you pay for by subscription or by download. Another is digital movies downloaded from the internet on a rental basis.
Posted by: Chris Wolf on September 9, 2004 08:33 PM | Permalink to CommentDRM stands for Digital Rights Management. Currently the iTMS (the iTunes Music Store) has DRM on the AAC ecoded music files and any site that allows you to download media for a price would have DRM.
Posted by: Curtis McKeegan on September 10, 2004 02:05 PM | Permalink to CommentDigital Rights Management, also known as DRM serves to protect digital files that are copyrighted from being copied and shared across the internet while royalties to the owners to these files are not paid. Examples of DRM in practice today is iTunes and programs that are subscription based in order to access databases to download and install the programs/music/any other digital file.
Posted by: Andrei Petrov on September 10, 2004 05:28 PM | Permalink to CommentDigital Rights Management (DRM): a system that protects the copyrights of data, digital content, circulated through the internet. It prevents the illegal use and distribution of data. The data can be encrypted, can contain a digital watermark, something so that the information cannot be freely distributed. Protects content from copyright infringement. Where one would have to purchase downloads, there would be the use of DRM. Sites where you have to pay for the downloads make use of DRM and DVDs are also encrypted now.

DRM stands for digital rights management, which is a system that protects the copyrights of data that exists on the Internet or other forms of media. This is done by ensuring that illegal use/distribution of the data is prevented, usually done so by only allowing access to this data to authorized users.
Two examples of DRM implementation currently in use are Stock Photography Databases available on the internet (eg. Gettyimages, Liquidlibrary, Corbis, etc.) , and IGN.com, an entertainment (video games, music, movies, etc.) website. Both require periodical subscription payments to receive full access or in some cases limited access to these websites.

Site logn ins, so only some people have acess.
No-Moving Code, on some art sites they have it so you can not copy, save, or right click on any pic. or movies just stream.
A DRM or Digital Rights Management is the system of maintaining the rights of digital content in the digital environment. The technology behind the system may employ devices or code to protect the content from unauthorized use or manage the financial expectations for the use of that material. The main purpose is to protect the intellectual property of the copyright holder. Examples: Adobe and its Content Server to secure the distribution and use of e-Books. ContentGuard The network protects PDFs and Microsoft Reader Format files and is based on XrML

Posted by: John Carew on September 14, 2004 01:05 AM | Permalink to CommentDRM is an acronym for Digital Rights Management, which allows any use of a digital work to be prevented by an individual with ownership of the rights to that work provided it is protected by copyright.
Examples:
- Macrovision - Macrovision prevents VCR recorders from copying video from DVD or VHS by filtering the picture with a signal found off the area of the picture itself. This is done by recording the signal onto the film itself or added by a chip in the player.
- FairPlay - FairPlay protects digital audio sold by the iTunes Music Store by encrypting AAC filetypes and preventing them from being shared on numerous prohibited computers.
- Content Scrambling System (CSS) - CSS encrypts data on DVD discs, which can only be seen if the data is decoded by an private encryption key regulated by the DVD Consortium. A contract between producers of DVD players and the DVD Consortium is required before permission for the use of the encryption key is allowed, but only if the producer of DVD players prevents the possibility of their product from being able to duplicate the copyrighted video.
DRM is Digital Rights Management, which consists of any system meant to protect the rights of any author or creator who holds the rights to digital media or works available in some way through the internet.
1) one example Windows Media DRM is a proven effective system to protect media and to securely deliver it to end users for use on a computer, portable device, or network device.
2) iTunes, one of the most popular legal music sources for PC and Mac, is another example of a DRM, using money to transfer limited rights as well as a form of the music to end users

Copyright/DRM Article Featured Article: Legal loss opens university networks to music industry Music industry experts will be allowed to examine the computer infrastructures of three Australian universites in the hunt for copyright breaches. Three of Australia's largest universities on Friday lost the battle to block the music industry from gaining access to their computer infrastructure, with the Federal Court ordering them to allow the industry's experts to gain access.

Posted by: Patrick Cannon on September 16, 2004 07:56 AM | Permalink to CommentDRM (Digital Rights Management) is a system of copyright protections. Examples include encryption of videos (as with DVDs), watermarks on images (as with Microsoft's Corbis database...is it still run by Microsoft?), and keys on music (as everyone noted with the iTunes music store, and with keys such as the ones digital radio subscriptions have, both streaming net radio and XM/Sirius satellite radio)
These technologies try to prevent people from illegally downloading and sharing media, and in most cases work decently. However, they are slowly being pulled apart (as with deCSS) and new technologies should be developed, at least in the interest of those who own/create copywritten media.

Examples of this is making it so that people have to pay to download music instead of them getting it for free and securing websites so that no one can come in and change them.
Posted by: Bobbisue on September 18, 2004 11:04 PM | Permalink to CommentDRM stands for Digital Rights Managements and gives guidelines for how material can be used. i.e At the bottom of some internet text it says what the text can be used for. At the beginning of movies say how you can and cannot use the movie.
