What is DRM Music?

Answer:
DRM refers to digital rights management,
which is the term used for restrictions on digital media. DRM tries to control the use of digital media by dissallowing the ability to copy or reproduce the media.


DRM as it applies to music has been controversial. The music copyright holders and artists claim that DRM is necessary in order to maintain their revenue and prevent unauthorized copying of products, while others maintain that DRM attempts to regulate copying in a way that is not supported by copyright law. Many online music stores have also implemented DRM technology.

The popular iTunes store allows users to purchase individual tracks for $.99. These tracks use a DRM system, though with the use of iTunes Plus, the user can download DRM-free music for 30 cents extra.
