Digital Rights Management using Geographic and Temporal Traits
First Claim
1. In a digital medium environment to control access to at least on item of content by digital rights management functionality embedded as part of the content, a method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
- collecting data describing geographical traits of a location associated with a request received from the user, by the computing device, to access the content;
determining from the data using a digital rights management module embedded as part of the content whether the geographical traits meet specified traits of a geographical behavior of a digital rights management policy enforced by the digital rights management module for the at least one item of the content; and
responsive to a determination that the specified traits are met, permitting access to the least one item of the content, by the embedded digital rights management module, at the location.

Abstract
Digital rights management using geographic and temporal traits is described. In one or more implementations, a digital medium environment is configured to control access to at least on item of content by digital rights management functionality embedded as part of the content. Data is collected describing geographical traits of a location or temporal traits associated with a request received from the user to access the content. A determination is made from the data using a digital rights management module embedded as part of the content as to whether the geographical or temporal traits meet specified traits of a geographical behavior of a digital rights management policy enforced by the digital rights management module for the at least one item of the content. Responsive to a determination that the specified traits are met, access is permitted to the least one item of the content by the embedded digital rights management module.
