DRM is a
Concept for managing and controlling the access and utilization of digital assets. A popular example is audio, which is widely (and in many cases illegally) shared among
Internet users with the aid of various
P2P file-sharing applications. Some DRM
Technology should be able to control this sharing of audio files by embedding licensing information in audio files, which can then only be played back by users having the appropriate licensing information (probably acquired by paying for the content).
