Digital Rights Management (DRM) refers to encryption technologies with policies and process flows that protect digital content from unauthorized use, modification, and distribution. Its main purpose is to safeguard intellectual property and ensure compliance with ownership rights.
Purpose
DRM aims to prevent unauthorized redistribution, copying, and sharing of digital media, protecting the rights of copyright holders.
Importance
DRM is crucial in the digital age where content is easily shared and copied, helping to combat piracy and protect creators' livelihoods. It may limit consumer rights and restrict fair use, raising concerns about accessibility and user control. DRM helps protect business-critical data and intellectual property within organizations, enabling secure collaboration and data sharing.
Digitization Services
Lemonjar developed its own proprietary encryption module primarily to restrict unauthorized downloading of digital content. It prevents users from redistributing digital content to third parties without the content owner's consent — ensuring protection of intellectual property, especially for eBooks.
How It Works
DRM systems employ techniques like encryption, access control, license management, and authentication to secure digital files.
Supported Formats
PDF and ePub formats for digital eBooks. Future development will extend support to electronic media including music, audio, and video.
