Copy protection for music files

The first time you try to copy a music CD in Media Center or Windows Media Player, a copy protection setting window appears. When you burn a music CD in Windows Media Player, an option to turn DRM on or off appears. If you keep it turned on, the music cannot be played on another PC. It can only be played on the original PC. If DRM is turned off, you can play your music on other PCs.
