Recently, P2P (Peer to Peer) systems, direct file sharing systems among the peers, are one of the most attractive file sharing system. P2P architectures have high scalability and high performance due to the fact that its architectures which have characteristics of distributed file processing. However, P2P Architecture is infamous for distribution channel of illegal contents. So we must apply the DRM (Digital Rights Management) system to the P2P architecture, and we should keep advantages of P2P even if after DRM system applied. In this paper, we propose new type of DRM applied P2P system architecture that keeps existing P2P system's advantages.
