  Multiple news sources over the years have reported on the problematic effects
of Digital Rights Management, yet there are no reforms for DRM development,
simply removal. The issues are well-known to the public, frequently repeated
even when addressed: impact on the software and to the devices that run them.
Yet few, if any, have discussed it in recent years, especially with the intent
of eliminating the shown issues. This study reviews Digital Rights Management
as a general topic, including the various forms it can take, the current laws
that affect DRM, and the current public reception and responses. This study
describes the different types of DRM in general terms and then lists both
positive and negative examples.
