Abstract
The problem of leakage and theft of information among corporate and
enterprises who work in collaboration I snow steadily tackled by a software
called Digital Rights Management (DRM). The software provides all time
protection internally and externally of corporate firewalls.
A market research report, "Digital Rights Management -- An Industry Outlook
(2005-2008)" prepared by RNCOS studies the increasing worldwide demand for
online protection rights and thereby demand for digital rights management
software. The latter is expected to touch a peak of US $3.6 billion by 2008
along with a growth rate of 106.1%.
According to RNCOS analysts, in 2004, 138 US companies suffered a loss of US
$35 to $39 billion annually on account of theft of intellectual property and
corporate leaks. As a result there has been an established use of DRM to
control leakage of authorized and authenticated digital content and create an
audit trail to identify inappropriate or illegal use. The market research
report views that 'security leaks' were becoming a threat to entertainment and
digital publishing industry and solutions to the same were being blocked by
the absence of a standard content protection system.
A significant outcome of DRM technologies is that end-users are more cautious
about restriction to access and use of information. Thus a prime objective of
DRM users is to create a balance between appropriate compensation to creators
of digital content and the rights of end-users.
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
The market research report, "Digital Rights Management -- An Industry Outlook
(2005-2008)" analyzes the impact of DRM on content management systems and
music industry and the effect on content owners/ distributors and CE/PC
manufacturers. The report will also be useful for CE/PC vendors and DRM
solution vendors who seek the current state of DRM industry and the decisions
to take for it as also develop interoperable systems.
The report examines the digital rights debate while providing a review for
players in this sector. It accounts for stakeholders' interest in designing
DRM-related technologies and how they can be integrated into business strategy.
REPORT FEATURES:
The market research report spreads over seven chapters where chapter 2 gives
an introduction to DRM and online copyright protection; chapter 3 gives the
legal framework and regulations; chapter 4 gives DRM market size and forecast,
2005-08; chapter 5 on opportunities and barriers to DRM; chapter 6 on current
issues and developments and chapter 7 giving profiles of Digital Output
Protection/ DRM Solution/ Physical Media Copy Protection vendors including
