gestión de derechos digitales; gestión de derechos de contenidos digitales; DRM: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la sigla "DRM", proveniente de la voz inglesa "digital rights management", se corresponde en español con las expresiones "gestión de derechos de contenidos digitales" y "programa anticopias", dependiendo del contexto, e incluso, cuando éste lo permite, basta con traducir "DRM" por "derechos y anticopias". Con la irrupción de los contenidos digitales y la gran facilidad para difundirlos gracias a internet se hizo necesaria una nueva forma de proteger los derechos de sus autores y editores. Fue así como se acuñó la expresión "gestión de derechos digitales", cuya sigla inglesa, "DRM", se extendió rápidamente entre los editores y gestores de contenidos digitales y llegó a los medios de información general. 1, record 2, Spanish, - gesti%C3%B3n%20de%20derechos%20digitales
