Well DRM is short for Digital Rights Management. A bunch of information on it can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Rights_Management#DRM_and_Movies
anyways in general what has been done in the past few years is DRM on cds which basicly wont allow you to copy your songs on to your computer and things like that. But is that really fare when you actually purchased the CD? I feel it isnt as maybe i dont want to have to put the cd into my computer every time i want to listen to it. I feel changing the format is alright so long as you got the original itself.
cheers

PS: there are lots of different forms of DRM, such as on music cd's or movies and so on.

Yes , I do agree , as it is probably the only strong way to ensure the quality of content on the internet . Otherwise everyone will indulge in copy paste only .Short for digital rights management, a system for protecting the copyrights of data circulated via the Internet or other digital media by enabling secure distribution and/or disabling illegal distribution of the data. Typically, a DRM system protects intellectual property by either encrypting the data so that it can only be accessed by authorized users or marking the content with a digital watermark or similar method so that the content can not be freely distributed.

Well copywrights are great somewhat for protecting content of the original owner / maker of the content. However I don't really agree with DRM for protecting music and movies. You can legally make backup copies of your music and movies as long as you don't sell them. Also with DRM it makes it much tougher to make copies for future use, but there are still ways around it. I've honestly never been a fan of DRM.
