Do DRM Technology detrimentally affect consumer interest?

DRM is primarily used to safeguard the distributors, copyright holders, and content creators'
intellectual property rights. It is intended to stop unauthorized digital content from being
copied, shared, modified, and distributed in order to protect the financial interests and income
sources connected to that content.
Supporters contend that DRM technology is essential for ensuring fair remuneration for
content creators, protecting intellectual property rights, and stopping piracy. They think that
without DRM, there would be a higher chance of illicit copying and distribution, which might
prevent innovation and cause financial losses for producers.
On the other hand, DRM detractors contend that it may negatively impact consumer interests.
The following are some typical worries voiced: DRM can place restrictions on how users can
use and access content, such as limiting the number of devices that can play content or
applying restrictions based on a particular region, Interoperability: DRM frequently causes
problems with interoperability between various hardware and software platforms, making it
challenging for customers to access material they have purchased on their chosen devices.
This may lead to annoyance and a feeling of being trapped in one ecosystem.
DRM can impose restrictions on actions that are normally regarded as fair use, like creating
backups, moving content between personal devices, or sharing it among household members.
