Adobe DRM?

In a couple of recent discussions of DRM for documents (e-books), references were made to Adobe DRM as an option. I did some searching and all I could come up with are some pages of exceptionally gassy, circular marketing-speak.

My understanding is that Adobe's DRM is tied to Adobe Editions/ADE and has limited portability — which is a problematic and deprecated platform.

If anyone can confirm or correct that, and/or point me to better technical and implementation information, I'd appreciate it.

I think they all have limitations - from Amazon DMR, Apple, Adobe, all popular but have limitations of tying people to a platform.

Would LCP (Lightweight Content Protection), and Readium LCP be an option?

Oh, I know all the limitations of doc DRM. I am just unaware of Adobe's version being a current and workable option; my grasp is that it's entirely a facet of the largely abandoned ADE platform. And if Adobe has a page that actually answers any questions, I couldn't find it. Just a circular loop of marketing gas.

I honestly won't know much about this - maybe @BobLevine knows a bit more about this side of it.
