What is FairPlay?

FairPlay is Apple's digital rights management (DRM) technology used to protect copyrighted content, such as movies and TV shows, from unauthorized copying and distribution. It's commonly used to secure streaming video content on Apple devices like iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs, ensuring that only authorized users can access and view the content. It achieves this through encryption and secure key exchange.
