I don't know a lot about it either, but here's how I think it works (could easily be wrong).
Most of the time the DRM is managed by a third party (servers, keys, etc). Sometimes the Publisher will take care of that before the content is made available to retailers, but other times it will be the retailers responsibility (especially in cases where the retailer is also the DRM provider... aka Amazon).
