The digitization of media and the European Union's focus on making copyright enforcement the same in all member states have both helped it grow. The Digital Services Act, EU directives, and anti-circumvention laws all work together to create a single legal framework for DRM adoption. Europe has also played a big role in standardizing technology through projects like AXMEDIS, DVB-CPCM, and W3C standards. This has made it possible to enforce rights across different platforms and systems. This balance between rules and technical frameworks has helped DRM work the same way in many different digital ecosystems.
