DRM and privacy
Digital Rights Management
- Technology that restricts the use of digital files: controls file access (number/length of views), altering, sharing, copying, printing, and saving
-
- Technology has been developed with little regard for privacy protection – systems typically require a user to reveal personal information, leading to profiling.
-
- Alternatives exist that would provide copy protection and/or provide desired marketing information and at the same time protect privacy: e.g. token and password systems to authorize access to digital content or by sending anonymous data.
