How do anti-piracy measures affect the distribution of digital photography?

Anti-piracy strategies protect digital photography by implementing measures such as digital watermarking, encryption, and digital rights management (DRM) techniques. Watermarking adds a visible or invisible mark to the image to deter unauthorized copying. Encryption secures the images to prevent unauthorized access or copying. DRM controls access to the digital photographs and restricts sharing or resale without permission through licensing and access control mechanisms. These strategies collectively help in safeguarding digital photography from being copied, shared, or resold without authorization.
