摘要：The aim of this article is to identify the various stakeholders related to Digital Rights
Management taking the music industry as an example. First key stakeholders in this sector will
be identified and their interests in and attitudes towards Digital Rights Management will be assorted.
The next step of the stakeholder analysis consists of estimating the power to influence
the achievement of their interests. However, the evaluation of this power is a very difficult task.
One way to approximate the influencing power of the various stakeholders in economical and
political terms is to look at the number of proposed technology bills and which stakeholders are
giving financial support to politicians supporting these bills. This article concludes that the content
industry on one side confronts hardware industry, digital enablers, public interest groups as
well as the users on the other side.
