Most media organizations favor the use of some method of DRM. New risks to rights holders inherent in the ability to copy and transmit digital media freely and instantaneously must be met with new safeguards: license enforcement via DRM. Without such safeguards, the economic vehicle that drives and supports the creation of new works may be at risk. The record industry is often held up as a poster child to illustrate the potential danger of these risks. DRM is viewed as a necessary requirement in a digital distribution approach that protects content creators’ rights and livelihoods.
