IWMDRMEditor::GetDRMProperty method (wmsdkidl.h)
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
[GetDRMProperty is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use Microsoft PlayReady. ]
The GetDRMProperty method retrieves the specified DRM property.

);

[in] pwstrName

[out] pdwType

[out] pcbLength

Remarks
This method retrieves only DRM properties listed below. The file must first be opened using IWMMetadataEditor::Open or IWMMetadataEditor2::OpenEx.
Also, before calling GetDRMProperty on an opened file, always call the helper function WMIsContentProtected to ensure that the file is protected with DRM. It is important to do this because in some cases this method might succeed when called on unprotected content.
