Spending
on digital rights management (DRM) software and hardware to protect
entertainment, commercial software, and other information will exceed $9 billion
dollars over the next five years, says a new market research report from Insight
Research Corp. By the close of 2007, total worldwide spending on DRM will reach
just over $1 billion, and by 2012 business spending is forecasted to grow to
nearly $1.9 billion, according to the new research study.
According to Insight’s newly-released market analysis report, “Wireline
and Wireless Digital Rights Management: Securing Content Distribution 2007-2012,”
DRM involves the combination of software and hardware technologies that enable
the content owner and distributors to assign and control rights and conditions
for viewing, listening, and employing the content present in digital media and
applications—be it a song, a movie, a medical or financial record, or a software
game. The study focuses on the use of DRM by wireline retail users, wireless
retail users, TV and home entertainment network (HEN) users, software
application retail users, as well as software application corporate users. The
report notes that as the value of digital content increases, applications of DRM
will increase, though at a slower rate than the value of content based on the
fact that DRM pricing is not tied to the value of the protected content.
“DRM evolved over the last two decades to serve corporations that needed a means
to deal with information piracy, peer-to-peer file sharing, and various
regulatory requirements. So in a sense DRM did not arise to meet the needs of
end users, and in fact, it may be said to have evolved to spite the end user,”
says Robert Rosenberg, President of Insight. “While organizations like Creative
Commons have emerged to balance the respective—and sometimes conflicting—rights
of artists and creators, media companies, and individuals who share content, by
and large the focus of the DRM industry is to protect the rights of the owner of
the content, not the end user,” Rosenberg concludes.
