Copy Protection and DRM News
ArtistScope introduced copy protection to the Internet in 1998. Most developments in DRM
since then were created here.
That is so true, especially when considering
that none of the copy-cat protectors exist
any more. Every time ArtistScope released a
new solution, monkey-brains would float a
new startup on the stock exchange to bleed
naive investors. Sure, copy protection is
big business. But the "big" part of it is
about how many billions are lost to
plagiarism and piracy and not what the "copy
protection" industry can earn.
Copy protection is difficult to enforce
because it can be breached from many
directions. It also not popular because it
can be considered as being "intrusive and
unfriendly". But the public needs to get
real. They do not have the right to copy and
plagiarize and to view copy protected
content one must realize that it is a
privilege given by the content author and
that in doing so you abide by that author's
rules. Otherwise go away and chew on a car tyre.
ArtistScope software is innovative and the
industry standard for copy protection,
providing the most secure and most robust
copy protection options possible. It is the
solution of choice by the military,
government, telecoms and many other
industries worldwide where the protection of
intellectual property and sensitive
information is critical.
Making It Happen
Too many people assume that copy protection
solutions can work without changing the file
format and requiring a special reader.
Similarly, they expect their copy protected
web pages to be viewable in all web browsers
and on all operating systems.
Well none of those ideas are feasible. To
begin the file being protected cannot be
viewable in a generic reader if it is to
remain secure. For example any PDF viewable
in Adobe Reader cannot be protected. But
that same PDF encrypted for use in the
CopySafe PDF Reader becomes the most
securely protected document on the planet.
And so it is with popular web browsers. Over
the years they have developed and provided
more and more ways of exploiting and copying
web media. Their browsers have never
provided consistent support for plugins or
anything else useful for webmasters to
identify users or restrict access. Late 2015
those popular browsers did webmasters a huge favor by dropping support for real plugins
altogether. Now webmasters have simpler task
and use the ArtistScope web browser
in full confidence that it will provide
consistent no-nonsense support for their
copy protected project.
