Question

Some people argue that digital rights management violates the public’s right to fair uses. Should people or companies that create intellectual property have the right to offer it for sale (or license) in a form protected by their choice of digital rights management technology (assuming the restrictions are clear to potential customers)? Should people have a legal right to develop, sell, buy and use devices and software to remove digital rights management restrictions for fair uses?
Companies selling music or movies can include digital rights management tools that cause files to self-destruct after a specified amount of time. Give some advantages and disadvantages of this practice. Do you think it is ethical for entertainment businesses to sell content with such a limitation? Why or why not?

Explanation / Answer

Answer)

Yes, people who have created the intellectual property have the right to offer it for sale.

At the current scenario, digital rights management tools are important for owners or inventors of the software or application for preventing from the illegal and unauthorized use of digital contents which helps to ensure that the share of revenue/profit is given to the owners and inventors. This even allows the inventors for creating the new intellectual property without any fear of inventions being misused.

If this tool would not be there then the piracy, illegal and unauthorized use of such content would lead to huge loss. These rights help the companies to monitor the sales of the product as well as the security of such digital contents.

No people don't have such rights to remove the digital rights management tools.

Yes, it is ethical to sell the content with limitation and with digital rights as it is crucial and important.
