Part 1. What is DRM

DRM, or Digital Rights Management, is a technology usually used in governing the use, modification, and distribution of copyrighted works such as audio, video, and so on. It mainly involves two techniques — licensing agreements and encryption, the former means official permission while the latter means encoding information.

When this technology comes into the music field, DRM usually works to control music access. It can be said that a subscription is like the permission or the key to access music data. When users have active subscriptions, they are permitted, but if they unsubscribe, they have no keys. Besides, under the action of DRM, users cannot find out their downloads on their computers and phones.

DRM has been being a controversial topic. To some extent, it may protect intellectual properties, but to an even greater extent, it serves only to inconvenience legitimate customers and restricts the fair use and backup copies making. Customers have paid for the intellectual properties and labor fruits.
