<p><xref href="http://www.openmobilealliance.org/" scope="external">Open Mobile

Alliance</xref> (OMA) DRM is a mechanism used for protecting distributed content.

Using DRM, the content can be accessed on authenticated devices depending

on the usage rights set by the content owner. OMA DRM addresses the various

technical aspects of this system by providing appropriate specifications for

content formats, protocols, and a rights expression language.</p>

<p>Application developers are directly affected by the manner in which content

is distributed, such as whether content can be freely copied between devices

or not. The introduction of OMA DRM technology changes the way content is

distributed and consumed. Understanding and using the OMA DRM standard enables

your applications to gain access to high-quality branded content.</p>

<p>Because OMA DRM is an industry-wide standard, no other DRM solution can

provide access to as many mobile users. OMA DRM contains a client component,

providing a mechanism to control not only piracy via the mobile network but

also via local connections, such as Bluetooth, infrared, and MultiMediaCard

(MMC) memory cards. OMA continues to develop DRM standards as a joint effort

among its members.</p>

<p>OMA DRM v2.0 and v2.1 offer improved protection and support features, but

due to higher licensing fee it is not as widely used as v1.0.</p>
