DRM

What Does DRM Mean?

DRM means "Digital Rights Management."

DRM measures or tools are access control technologies built into software and multimedia content (such as games) in order to suppress piracy. DRM is intended to control the use, modification and distribution of copyrighted works, thereby protecting the rights of authors, artists and distributors.

Critics of DRM claim it only serves to inconvenience and reduce the rights of genuine customers, whilst doing little to deter fraud.
