content protection

Anti-piracy digital measures

Content protection refers to technologies and methods that prevent unauthorized copying, distribution, or access to digital media.

It encompasses encryption, digital rights management (DRM), and copy-prevention schemes used on streaming services, DVDs, software, and other digital products: The content protection on this streaming platform won't let me take screenshots.

Critics argue such measures often inconvenience legitimate users more than pirates.
