Digital Rights Management – An Overview
Arlene Wilson · Business Law Review · 2010
This article provides an overview of what digital rights management is and how it operates in practice; who uses it; the legal sanctions that are in place to stop those people, of which there are many, who try to circumvent it; and argues that a balance needs to be struck between providing accessible content for consumers which they want to purchase and ensuring that rights holders receive remuneration for the sharing of their digital files.
