Hi

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is technology that enables online video and audio services to enforce that the content they provide is used in accordance with their requirements.

This technology may restrict some of the things you can do in the browser. Some people may view this as being less open, others may view it as a way to protect the income due to content creators. I recommend that you read up on this from a number of different sources.
