What is DRM and Why Every Video Platform Needs It?


Digital Rights Management (DRM) is the technology that protects digital content from unauthorized access and piracy. If you run an OTT platform, e-learning portal, or premium video service, DRM is your first line of defense.


What DRM Does

  • Encrypts your videos
  • Controls who can view content
  • Prevents downloads
  • Blocks screen recording
  • Restricts device sharing

Types of DRM Systems

  • Google Widevine
  • Apple FairPlay
  • Microsoft PlayReady

Using multi-DRM ensures compatibility across all devices.


Why Businesses Need DRM

Without DRM, anyone can copy or distribute your premium content. This directly affects subscriptions, sales, and profits.
