Global DRM Market
This section provides a detailed overview of the global DRM market, which
includes the application areas of DRM technology such as mobile content,
media, financial Industry etc. Mobile content especially ring tones & gaming
are expected to be the major drivers in the mobile content application area.
Media is another industry, which has a potentially large application market.
The report highlights that mis-match in ideas within the DRM industry remains
the major hurdle for the success of DRM Market.
Key Findings
- Consumer demands for licensed digital media & content (In 2008, near 5 Bn
songs and 38 Mn feature-length films are expected to be downloaded) will
drive the digital right management market in future.
- Growth Of DRM largely depends upon the balance between fair compensation
for the creators of digital content and the rights of end-users to access and
use the information they need.
- The lack of common standards remains a problem that must be overcome if
DRM is to serve the industry on a mass scale.
- There is a lack of common consensus on the different strategies for
content piracy. The content development industry, (which consists of the
recording industry and the movie studios), has repeatedly emphasized the need
for immediate DRM solutions that stop all unauthorized copying. Meanwhile, the
information technology industry is emphasizing that DRM solutions should
support the concept of "fair use," which allows consumers to make copies of
some types of copyrighted content for their personal use.
