Guest Video provides file hosting for web pages, with options for adding DRM, copy protection and watermarking. Copy protected web pages can be embedded into existing web pages, or they can by published on standalone web pages (hosted by Guest Video) that do not require a website at all.
📖 How Guest Video Works
The Guest Video service utilizes the most secure copy protection solution for web pages, known as the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS), which requires installation on a dedicated server or VPS. But not everyone can afford a dedicated server, so Guest Video provides the use of ASPS by sharing web pages copy protected by the ASPS instance that is running on their on server.
📖 Copy Protect Web Pages Using A WordPress Plugin
The Guest Video plugin for WordPress enables website owners to nominate web pages to be embedded into exiating web pages. The protection options available are copy protection (safe from all methods of copy), DRM to manage access rights, and watermarking that will clearly identify anyone who copies the image, even by photographing the computer monitor display.
From the WordPress editor, site owners can select the web page to embed in their web page. The example below shows what the shortcode looks like. Once you have that shortcode, it can be added to other pages and posts. Note that these examples depict the Classic Editor. Other WordPress editors are similary supported.
Shortcode for an embedded web page:
The copy protection settings applied to these pages are governed by the settings for that page in your Guest Video dashboard.
📖 Copy Protect Standalone Web Pages
Even if you don't have a website, you can still publish copy protected web pages from your Guest Video dashboard. Those web pages can include images, PDF and video. The pages are created using an online editor, enabling full control of what is seen on the page and how it appears. There is no limit to how the web page can look.
You have complete control over all aspects of your web page:
Standalone web pages can be linked from anywhere, even from social media.
Options for Copy Protecting Web Pages
Copy protection is either enabled or OFF. When applied, the web page os copy proyteceted from all avenues of exploit including save, download, print, screen capture and recording.
Options for DRM Protecting Web Pages
DRM options include:
- DRM Token - users require a DRM Token for permission to view the page.
- Subscription - users require a login to their paid membership account for the rights to view pages assigned to them.
- Public - no access limitations - accessible to the public
Options for Watermarking Web Pages
When a watermark is applied to a Guest Video web page, several options are available for positioning, text size, text color and text shading. The information that will be displayed in the watermark will include the user's IP address, device signature and date, and may also include their email address; which is a huge deterrent for any wanna-be content thief.
Do you know of any web hosting plan or CMS that provides these options and features?
