Access control technology put in place in order to limit the usage of digital media.

Digital Rights Management is a term used to describe technology that companies use to attempt to limit the ability of end-users to manipulate and copy the computer data that their game consists of. Methods for this are varied, but generally involve restricting installation and file protocols in an attempt to make the game harder to copy, steal, or in some cases, even modify.

DRM is usually associated with PC games, although with newer consoles and the rise of digitally distributed titles through services like Xbox Live Marketplace, and the Playstation Network, DRM has started to enter the console scene; controversy in particular has arisen over how difficult it is to transfer your XBLM purchases from one Xbox to another, a fairly common occurence with the epidemic of Red Rings of Death on the 360.

On PC's, DRM has a long history.
