About Content Protection
Audio-visual content, including movies and TV, is increasingly disseminated in digital form on the Web, as well as on physical media. This widespread availability of digital content has made content providers increasingly concerned about unauthorized copying and use. Therefore, content providers, media manufacturers, and electronics manufacturers have implemented a variety of content protection technologies that protect access to high-value content distributed via different media. Content providers typically use a Digital Rights Management system (DRM) to protect their content. DRMs are designed to prevent unauthorized uses of the content and to permit other uses or impose other restrictions on such content. For example, a consumer may download a file containing video or music to a digital player. This content is protected by a DRM that controls what a user can do with that content.
