Windows Media DRM

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:

    In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are half concealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends.... We enjoy now, not an Oriental, but a Boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fireplaces, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
