The security of digital right management
Back? The future of books
Description:
Digital Rights Management is used by publishers and copyright holders to limit the usage and enforce copyright of e-books. By using DRM, the publishers limit copying, printing and sharing e-books. Other limitations that can be set are the number of maximum views, the number of days the e-book can be accessed etc.
Usually e-books are limited to a number of reading devices and most often to just one. This means that once you downloaded the e-book to your computer, the only way you can access that e-book is through your computer only. The e-book can’t be send to your mobile phone, e-book reader, or another computer.
