What is Digital Rights Management (DRM)?
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a technology that allows for the secure management of digital media. This security protects the content from illegal and unauthorized sharing and viewing (also known as digital piracy) by issuing licenses to your computer for each piece of protected content to which you are authorized. As long as this license remains on your computer, and it has not expired, you will not need another license to watch that same piece of content on that computer. As such you will not need to be connected to the internet to view downloaded content after the license has been delivered.
DRM combats piracy by protecting content and maintaining control over distribution and usage by creating license terms for each digital media file. Audio and video files secured by DRM can only be played by the person who paid for it. Digital media files can be easily copied and distributed without any reduction in quality. As a result, digital media files are being widely distributed on the Internet today, through both authorized and unauthorized distribution channels. Piracy is a concern when security measures are not in place to protect content. A robust and reliable DRM system ensures that a wide variety of the highest-quality audio and video is available to consumers, and that copyright is enforced.

Digital Rights Management is the system that helps protect copyrighted material that is distributed on the internet by defining who, when and how files can be opened. The producers of the content want to ensure that their content is not being copied or distributed to those that did not pay for it. Bell Video Store uses a DRM solution provided by Microsoft which you can learn more about here.
