  Abstract

Most of us have a reasonably good working knowledge of what copyright means. And the term digital is generally understood. But the expression digital rights management (DRM) seems to mean different things to different people. Although it broadly means a set of technologies for the identification and protection of intellectual property in digital form, there appears to be no generally accepted definition of it. The technology involved is complex and rapidly changing, and the subject is intensely controversial, with constant friction between rightsholders on the one hand and those who regard DRM as being unduly restrictive on the other.
