==DRM in audio content==

~~DRM's strangest inclusion~~ was in audio content, which was rarely implemented due to audio's analog nature (compared to video and software), making it questionable whether it could effectively block data replication. The most notable application of audio DRM was [[MediaMax]]<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaMax</ref>, which essentially functioned as malware to prevent users from simply playing these audio discs on Windows and macOS. There was also the less-notable [[Extended Copy Protection]]<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Copy_Protection</ref> (XCP) DRM, however it did leave [[Sony]] in hot water<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal</ref>, dubbing this form of DRM also as the Sony Rootkit.
