copied!<p>DRM in this context is somewhat vague, and can mean a couple of things:</p> <h2>Application Licensing</h2> <p>If you're trying to copy-protect your application, you can use the new Android Market <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/licensing.html" rel="nofollow">Application Licensing</a> feature.</p> <p>Some more blog posts on the topic can be found here:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/07/licensing-service-for-android.html" rel="nofollow">http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/07/licensing-service-for-android.html</a></li> <li><a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/07/licensing-service-technology-highlights.html" rel="nofollow">http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/07/licensing-service-technology-highlights.html</a></li> <li><a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/08/licensing-server-news.html" rel="nofollow">http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/08/licensing-server-news.html</a></li> <li><a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/09/securing-android-lvl-applications.html" rel="nofollow">http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/09/securing-android-lvl-applications.html</a></li> </ul> <h2>Media Content Protection</h2> <p>If you're trying to protect media content and can't use an in-app content protection method, you may be interested in the new system DRM framework in Android 3.0 (the <code>android.drm</code> package). Details for using this framework are a bit scarce currently because there are no widely available native DRM plugins/agents to interface with (as of this writing, May 2011). Additionally, your implementation may vary depending on the plugin you'd be using.</p> <p>More information on this new framework can be currently found in the <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0.html" rel="nofollow">Android 3.0 Platform</a> description document:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>Digital rights management (DRM)</strong></p> <p>New extensible digital rights management (DRM) framework for checking and enforcing digital rights. It's implemented in two architectural layers:</p> <ul> <li><p>A DRM framework API, which is exposed to applications and runs through the Dalvik VM for standard applications.</p></li> <li><p>A native code DRM manager that implements the framework API and exposes an interface for DRM plug-ins to handle rights management and decryption for various DRM schemes.</p></li> </ul> <p>For application developers, the framework offers an abstract, unified API that simplifies the management of protected content. The API hides the complexity of DRM operations and allows a consistent operation mode for both protected and unprotected content, and across a variety of DRM schemes.</p> <p>For device manufacturers, content owners, and Internet digital media providers the DRM framework?s plugin API provides a means of adding support for a DRM scheme of choice into the Android system, for secure enforcement of content protection.</p> <p>The preview release does not provide any native DRM plug-ins for checking and enforcing digital rights. However, device manufacturers may ship DRM plug-ins with their devices.</p> <p>You can find all of the DRM APIs in the <code>android.drm</code> package.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote>
