إدارة الحقوق الرقمية

إدارة الحقوق الرقمية (الإنكليزية: Digital rights management)، هو مصطلح عام للدلالة على تقانات تحكم الوصول التي يمكن استخدامها من قبل مصنعي العتاد والناشرين وحاملي حقوق النسخ والأفراد لفرض حدود على استخدام المحتوى والعتاد الرقمي. يستخدم هذا المصطلح للدلالة أيضاً على كل تقانة من شأنها أن تمنع أي استخدام غير مرغوب به للمحتوى الرقمي من قبل مزوّده. ولا يشير هذا المصطلح عادة للأشكال الأخرى للحماية من النسخ، والتي يمكن التحايل عليها دون إجراء تعديل على الملف أو الجهاز، كالأرقام التسلسلية Serial numbers والملفات المفتاحية Keyfile. تستخدم هذه تقانات إدارة الحقوق الرقمية من قبل العديد من الشركات مثل سوني، أمازون، آبل، مايكروسوفت، أي أو إل، وبي بي سي.

هذه التقانات هي موضع جدل، فالمؤيدين لها يقولون أنها ضرورية لحاملي حقوق النسخ لمنع النَّسْخ غير المرخص لأعمالهم، في حين يعتقد المعارضين مثل منظمة البرمجيات الحرة (من خلال حملة معيب بالتصميم) أن كلمة "حقوق" مضللة، ويقترحون تسمية أخرى هي إدارة القيود الرقمية، فهم يقولون إن هذه التقانات تحد من استخدام المواد المحمية بشكل تسمح به قوانين حقوق النسخ الحالية، وبشكل لا ينبغي لقوانين المستقبل أن تمنعه. تصنف مؤسسة التخم الرقمي Electronic Frontier Foundation هذه التقانات على أنها ممارسات غير تنافسية.
