Developers, content providers, and operators are all involved in protecting mobile content. Digital Right Management (DRM) is an important issue in the mobile world and it is a complex environment to work with. Open Mobile Alliance DRM (OMA DRM) can be used to protect Flash Lite content. OMA DRM has two specifications 1.0 and 2.0. Both DRM solve the same problem – protecting content. I will briefly explain the differences in OMA DRM 1.0 and OMA DRM 2.0 and how to apply OMA DRM 1.0 Forward Lock to Flash Lite content. Note that this is not an easy topic and it is important to understand all entities involved in the process of protecting content.
