Digital Rights Management (DRM) encompasses all the technologies used by the owners of the digital content to control access and usage of their copyrighted creation. By allowing access and usage of their prized possession, the owners of the digital content make revenues as well as build a viable business model around their content. While the battle between the content owners and the distributors and users exists for nearly a decade, the battle has now reached the digital space with the popularity of the computers, DVD''s and software that allows copying of digital content many times without reducing the quality. While the DRM opponents feel that it is designed to restrict the free use of information, the DRM advocates feel that the owners of the content should have control over the use and distributions of their works.
