The precise restrictions depend on the distributor of the content but they are all geared to remove control of the content from the hands of the user, and put it into the hands of the creator or distributor.ĭRM can often rear its ugly head when it prevents you from watching content on your phone or tablet, such as giving you a narrow window to watch downloaded content, so despite the video being on your phone, it's not watchable. It’s there to prevent content from being stolen and distributed, but DRM can be a pain for you, the end user who has paid for a service such as Spotify, Netflix or another service.ĭRM puts additional code into media files - videos and music mainly - that implements a variety of restrictions, including how many devices they can be viewed on, to how many times they can be viewed.
