Technology helps put copyrighted material — from CDs and DVDs to

Digital rights management (DRM) is an attempt to provide "remote control" over 
digital content. The required level of protection goes beyond secure delivery 
of the bits—restrictions on the use of the content must be maintained after it 
has been delivered. The buzzword for this is "persistent protection."

Digital rights management (DRM) systems try to erect technological barriers to 
unauthorized use of digital data. DRM elicits strong emotions on all sides of

Nikkei Weekly (07/11/05) Vol. 43, No. 2191, P. 15; Honda, Takahisa

To combat the growing popularity of digital bootlegging, many content providers 
are turning to digital watermarks to protect a file from sharing by identifying 
copyright information. The watermark is appealing because even if a file is 
bootlegged, special software allows the copyright holder to determine who 
possess the illegal copies, a capability that watermark supporters believe will 
deter would-be pirates. Watermarks protect content through adding a piece of 
copyright information to a remote part of the file, so as to make it
