So, you are the producer/publisher of a content. You want to make money of it. As much money as possible. You are wondering if you must use DRM or not.

First question

It might be obvious but, at first, ask yourself : “Why do I want to use DRM on my content ?”. To fight piracy or illegal copies ? Bad answer ! Your goal is NOT to fight piracy ! Your goal is to earn money. Lot of money. If you could make more money with the help of piracy, would you still fight it ? Of course not. So keep in my mind that you want to use DRM to make more money of your content. Nothing else.
