In building a knowledge resource about Digital Rights Management (DRM)implementation in Malaysia electronic publication (ePublication) industry, a number of surveys were conducted to gain information abouts takeholders’ experiences, expectation and suggestions.Lack of awareness on intellectual property rights (IPR)issue and how to implement the technology into ePublication business in Malaysia indicate that there is a need for a proper guideline that covers the technological and legal considerations to assist anyone associated with ePublication in adopting the technology.In developing the guideline, security technologies, underlying legal implications, related privacy problem, copyright law and main obstacles to DRM deployment were reviewed.
