DRM (Digital Rights Management) is the technical means that prevents you from copying (and sharing) DRM-protected content that you buy from places like Amazon (Kindle books and music), Apple iTunes, etc.
DRM can be very annoying when you want to do something perfectly legal (with respect to copyright), but which the DRM prevents. For example, I might buy an Kindle book that I'd like to turn into a PDF file so that I can read or print it on any device I own (not just those devices that happen to be able to host a Kindle reader). DRM prevents me from doing that.
This article points the way to a method for removing the DRM from Kindle books. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm definitely going to do so...
