DRM is usually discussed in the context of copyright and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of , which makes circumvention of measures that control access to copyrighted works a civil offense in some cases even a federal crime. It refers to actual technology—a code or a set of codes—applied to restrict the digital use of copyrighted materials.

This means that people buying ebooks, whether for personal or institutional use, are paying for usage, not possession as has been the case for centuries with print books.

When encrypted with DRM, ebooks cannot be easily if at all copied or printed, viewed on multiple devices, or moved from one device to another. Further, they can only be downloaded a certain number of times even when legally bought online and, if necessary, blocked in certain territories around the world or made invisible to users in certain countries. Such restrictions have given publishers and authors some peace of mind over the past two decades, but they have resulted in many inconveniences for legitimate users, including lay readers who purchase digital content on sites like Amazon and researchers who access digital content through libraries.
