ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 37 of 100
DRM is the collective term for technologies that protect rights in digital content and control its use, copying, or distribution. A DRM system may encrypt content, issue licenses, authenticate users or devices, and enforce conditions such as expiration, playback count, or prohibition of duplication.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) describes audio or video compression and encoding technologies
- (c) describes a specialized XML-based control or metadata language, not DRM as a whole
- (d) describes an audio reproduction standard
Key rule: DRM manages permissions and restrictions attached to copyrighted digital content; compression and reproduction standards address media representation or quality.
