Abstract: With the iteratively updating of global e-book standards, the shortcomings of the traditional DRM technology are continuously revealed. A new digital copyright protection technology based on EPUB 3.0, “Lightweight Content Protection, LCP”, was first released and applied in Europe. It uses license technology to protect the content in the two layers, providing an e-lending mode of lower cost for the library, while protecting the privacy of users and optimizing their reading experience. It is expected to solve the copyright problems between e-book publishers, platform operators and libraries. This article cites the foreign data in order to provide reference for domestic e-book copyright protection and libraries’ e-lending service.

Key words: Digital publishing, Digital copyright protection, E-book, Lightweight content protection
