digital rights
Internet user protections
Digital rights are the legal entitlements people have regarding their online activities and electronic information—rights to privacy, free expression, and access to digital content.
The term also covers what consumers can do with digital purchases: whether you can resell an ebook, copy music to multiple devices, or modify software you've bought.
The streaming service's terms severely limit your digital rights.
Digital rights management (DRM) refers to technology that restricts such uses.
