DRM, or Digital Rights Management, is a method of protecting digital content from viewers by preventing actions such as copying or copyright infringement. DRM has evolved into a must-have tool for any on-demand video streaming platform. DRM ensures that video content is stored and transformed into an encrypted format, allowing only authorized users and devices to view the video.

In simple terms, DRM is a technology that prevents copyright violations by content creators to restrict unauthorized use of digital content. The main purpose of DRM is to prevent users from accessing, copying, and sharing content illegally.
