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:
“All day long the machine waits: rooms,
stairs, carpets, furniture, people
those people who stand at the open windows like objects
waiting to topple.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
