Digital Rights Management Resume

Digital rights managers follow a systematic approach to ensure protection of original content, and help in restricting the improper use of copyrighted works. They use software to control or restrict the use of audios, videos, images or content by unauthorized users. With the advent of technology in today's world, the time for a video going viral or being replicated is greatly reduced.
