Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DRM (Digital Rights Management) protects intellectual property by limiting the number of devices that can use a file and controlling how many times it can be copied. This way, the owner of the intellectual property can maintain control over their work and prevent unauthorized sharing and distribution. The other options listed (maintaining a central database, installing software-rootkits, and tracking downloaders) may be methods used by some DRM systems, but they are not the primary way in which DRM protects intellectual property.
