Windows Media DRM is a Digital Rights Management service for the Windows Media platform. It is designed to provide delivery of audio and/or video content over an IP network to a PC or other playback device in such a way that the distributor can control how that content is used.
WMDRM includes the following components:
- Windows Media Rights Manager (WMRM) SDK for packaging content and issuing licenses
- Windows Media Format SDK (WMF SDK) for building Windows applications which support DRM and the Windows Media format
- Windows Media DRM for Portable Devices (WMDRM-PD) for supporting offline playback on portable devices (Janus)
- Windows Media DRM for Network Devices (WMDRM-ND) for streaming protected content to devices attached to a home network (Cardea)

Famous quotes containing the words windows and/or media:
“The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
