使用数字媒体消费和传播知识产权现在很普遍。例如，Spotify在2018年1月拥有约7000万付费用户（Statista，2018 b），Netflix自2011年第三季度以来全球用户不断增加，2018年第一季度全球用户约为1.25亿。（Statista，2018 a）与印刷书籍相比，电子书籍的使用量也有类似的增长，计算机软件（包括游戏）也从通过物理媒体分发到Steam等电子分发平台。在数字媒体消费的背景下，知识产权（IPR）持有人不得不在如何保护其知识产权方面进行创新。特别是因为数字拷贝可以快速轻松地制作和分发，而不会降低质量。这导致了数字版权管理（DRM）实施的引入。虽然这些实现方式存在变化，但它们都给消费者一个许可证和一份媒体使用副本。

The use of digital media for the consumption and distribution of Intellectual Property is now common placed. For example Spotify in January 2018 had some 70 million paying customers, (Statista, 2018b) and Netflix had had increasing worldwide subscribers since Q3 2011, with some 125 million worldwide subscribers in Q1 2018. (Statista, 2018a) There has been similar increases in the use of electronic books compared to printed books, and the move of computer software (including games) from being distributed via physical media to electronic distribution platforms such as Steam.With this backdrop of digital media consumption, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) holders have had to innovate in how they protect their Intellectual Property. Particularly as digital copies can be made and distributed quickly and easily with no quality degradation. This has led to the introduction of Digital Rights Management (DRM) implementation. While there are variations with how these implementations are achieved they, all give a consumer a licence and a copy of the media to use.
