Abstract: The main objective of Distance Education (DE) is to spread quality education regardless of time and space. This objective is easily achieved with the help of technology. With the development of World Wide Web and high-speed internet the quality of DE is improved because now Digital Content (DC) can be easily and in no time distributed to many learners of different locations in text, audio and video formats. But, the main obstacle in digital publishing is the protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) of DC. Digital Rights Management (DRM) that manages rights over any digital creation is the only solution to this problem. In this paper, we have made an attempt to implement a Digital Rights Management System for Distance Education known as DRMSDE. We have identified that Multi-Agent System (MAS) based technology is very popular for such type of implementations. Keeping that in mind, we have chosen one of the most popular Multi-Agent based tools, namely JAVA Agent Development Framework (JADE), for our system. This paper presents an overview and the system architecture for the proposed implementation.
