What is DRM?
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. DRM-Protected eBooks are eBooks with some restrictions on
the file or its viewing, etc. DRM-Free eBooks are eBooks with no restrictions on the number ofsimultaneous accesses, PDF downloads, printing, etc.

Features of DRM-Protected eBooks
1. Reading PDF Online
The PDFs can be viewed in an online reader, which opens when you click on "Read Online". You do not need toinstall any special software to use this service, which can only be used to view the PDFs online. However, you willneed to create an individual account and log in to Taylor & Francis eBooks to use functions other than online
reading (printing, copying, accessing saved titles). See page 3 for instructions on how to create an individual
account. For instructions on how to create an individual account, please see page 3.
2. User Concurrency
While most of our eBooks are available with unlimited user concurrency, DRM protected eBooks are restricted to one
concurrent user per copy purchased, allowing a single user to read the title at any one time. As such, DRM-protected
titles can only be read online and cannot be downloaded as a .pdf file and used offline.

3. Printing.
Up to 20% of a book may be printed per user over a 30-day period. This is a rolling window, which meansthat if a user prints 10% on day 1 and then another 10% on day 15 they will get 10% back on day 31 (1+30)
and the remaining 10% on day 46 (15+30). If this limit is exceeded, the following message will be displayed:“Unable to print - You are no longer able to print from this title because you have reached printing
restrictions placed by the publisher. “
4. Copy/Paste – Controls limits for copying content per session per user.
Users can copy/paste and print/ p to 20% of the title, per user. When the limit has been reached, anderror message will be displayed to the user.

5. Session Time – Controls duration for which a user can read/access the content.
There is currently no limit on session time, however, a 30-minute period of inactivity will result inthe session being ended automatically, to ensure the book is available for other users.
