Overview: The study presented in this paper examines how Digital Rights Management (DRM) may complement Peer to Peer (P2P) technology and help solve many of the intellectual property problems now hotly contested in the current policy arena. From a popular vantage point, Napster - though not a pure P2P network (because it relied on a central server to direct users to sought content) - illustrated the mass appeal of P2P file sharing. This study argues that the basic functions of DRM and P2P can be quite complementary and that innovative market mechanisms that can help alleviate many copyright concerns are currently blossoming.
