Abstract
Computer networks are a crucial part of organizations. It is one of the fastest growing technological
areas and brings benefits virtually to every country in the world. With the interconnection of network
to the Internet, the world has truly become a global village where we depend more, on digital
materials. So in the present century all digital works need protection because they can be easily
copied. For that reason DRM technology has taken place, which is not a single technology or not a
single philosophy. It refers to a broad range of technologies and standards. DRM is neither thin nor
thick copy right. DRM is potentially a planned technique for absolute protection of works. Thus the
present article is intended to highlight few technological aspects of DRM which are essential in the
library profession.
