ABSTRACT:

 

Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology allows access to protected

content based on rules associated with the content and rights given to the

users. We describe an architecture of a DRM system and make it concrete in

the context of digital music. We also describe some research problems

motivated by DRM. These problems span many areas including security,

cryptography, language design, business models, automated negotiations,

and large distributed systems. As solutions to these problems get more

sophisticated,  e-commerce in general, and digital music distribution in

particular, can move in exciting new directions, away from mimicking

physical goods distribution.
