This paper puts the subject of Digital Rights and Access Management (DRM) into the context of digital long-term preservation. It examines the risks and challenges for ensuring long-term accessibility and usability of DRM-protected objects on the one hand and for the safeguarding of associated rights on the other hand. The research leading to the results presented in this paper has mainly been undertaken within the EU project APARSEN [1].
