DRM with Total Control now affordable by Everyone

Brisbane, AU (OpenPress) June 25, 2010 – ArtistScope DRM for the Digital Rights Management of both documents and web content is now available and affordable for everyone to use. Instead of outlaying thousands of dollars for software and a dedicated server, authors can now start protecting their livelihood for as little as $25 by using a ready hosted DRM service.

An author can be publishing fully protected documents within hours. Documents not only protected from all manner of copying their content but are also protected from the copy and redistribution to others.

ArtistScope DRM is a total control solution comprised of a sophisticated suite of tools that enable authors to upload documents and images from a web page to be encrypted and assigned access rights permissions. The solution is unique in that all document conversions, regardless of file type and the ultimate encryption for distribution are performed server side.

ArtistScope DRM utilizes the most secure and renown CopySafe Runtime for the copy protection of documents, images and web page content. CopySafe is safe from all copy and saving including Printscreen and screen capture software. Today, claims of being safe from screen shots are used by a lot of products and merely false advertising. In fact all other copy protection solutions actually fall way short of the mark in comparison to the CopySafe solution which was first introduced in 1998 and has evolved to provide the most secure environments ever imagined.

Almost any type of document can be protected by ArtistScope DRM. Authors can upload a variety of document types and have them encrypted for DRM format for view by a CopySafe reader (a free download to the public). During the encryption process the documents signature and security code is embedded, so that when and if it is tagged for DRM then the Reader will query the online database, check the rules assigned to the document and or user/group permissions, and then allow/disallow access to the document according to those rules.

The most amazing feature of ArtistScope DRM is that a document can be uploaded and managed from anywhere in the world with immediate effect over any changes, even on documents already distributed to the end user, giving the author total control at all times.

ArtistScope DRM:

- Restricts which users or groups can view a document or web page
- Sets expiration on a document or web page validated by independent time server
- Allows/limits the number of views of documents and web pages per user or group
- Allows/limits the number of prints of documents and web pages per user or group
- Allows/limits access to documents and web pages by IP number or network
- Allows/limits a user to add/edit documents for shared distribution
- Creates member accounts for authoring documents and web pages
- Uploads, converts and protects all types of documents, images and web pages

Ordinarily such a complex solution would be installed on a client’s server and accessed directly from their own network, but ArtistScope DRM has been especially designed to cater for multi-tiered user groups, catering for millions of authors, groups, users and documents.

The ArtistScope DRM solution, having been in service since 2008 and utilized by a variety of different industries and different media supporting different languages, everyone should find that the hosted DRM service most reliable and user-friendly. Control panel pages are available in 27 different languages with all screens and messages, including member notices, automatically translated to the language of the user.
