Abstract

Ubiquitous access to the Internet, especially from mobile phones, offers the possibility of easy access for the user to desirable contents such as songs, videos, ringtones and books. However, this easy access also exposes the owners of this content to potential fraud and piracy. Digital Rights Management technologies are used to ensure that digital content can only be consumed on authorised devices that enforce copyright protection and allow the management of content throughout its entire life cycle. This article provides an overview of Digital Rights Management with particular focus on the Open Mobile Alliances DRM standards.
