To save myself a lot of typing:
From DRM definition of DRM in computing dictionary - by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. (http://computing-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/DRM)

(Digital Rights Management) A system for authorizing the viewing or playback of copyrighted material on a user's computer or digital music player. DRM has centered around copyrighted music, with Apple's FairPlay and Microsoft's Windows Digital Rights Manager being the two predominant DRM systems.
