Digital Rights Management (DRM) is about how to give people rights to do this and prevent them from doing that with the information that you own.
DRM is often confused with encryption and vice versa. It is important to understand, that encrypting the data doesn't necessarily give you protection for your data. The one who can decrypt it (legitimately) becomes the possessor of the information and copy and distribute it (no matter if he has the rights to do this). Encryption can't prevent distribution. But DRM can. Can it?
Here's the article that gives you the basic understanding of what DRM does.
