How our Digital Rights Management (DRM) works
ArtistScope DRM provides total control management over any
documents that you tag for DRM even after download by the end
user. To secure a breach in a document's security, from your
admin you can change the document's DRM settings for immediate
effect. Authors can upload and submit content from anywhere
including Internet Cafes using any file format at their
disposal.
How it works
It all happens online. Server side software uploads your content
direct from your computer, converts it to the desired format and
then publishes it via link and email for your subscribers. From
an online Control Panel you can add new content and modify
access rights at any time and from anywhere in the world.
Management Controls
The creation of user accounts, document conversion and
distribution is managed online and from any computer in the
world (optional setting) without having to install software. You
can assign administrators and other special users permitted to
submit publications, update document permissions or suspend
document availability at any time.
Documents can be emailed to your group of users or provided as a
download. End users can log in to retrieve assigned documents or
modify their contact details. They can also be allowed to upload
and contribute documents in reply when allowed in your settings.
Document Security
ArtistScope DRM is the most secure solution imaginable. Tokens
cannot be forged and certificates cannot be copied or
redistributed. When a PDF is tagged for DRM each time the end
user opens the document your database is checked for their
rights to access the document. The CopySafe runtime provides
total protection from by ALL screen capture and video capture.
You have “total control” over documents even if they were
downloaded months ago. Authors can change document security
settings from a web page logged in from anywhere in the world
that are immediately effective.
Viewing Protected Documents
The CopySafe PDF Reader is a free download to the public. If a
document is tagged for DRM then only the intended person can
open it, otherwise the document will be copy protected only.
Administration and Distribution
You can assign administrators and other special users permitted
to submit publications, update document permissions or suspend
document availability at any time. Documents can be emailed to
your group of users or provided as a download. End users can log
in to retrieve assigned documents or modify their contact
details. They can also be allowed to upload and contribute
documents in reply when allowed in your settings.
Multi-language Support
The ArtistScope DRM control panel can be translated into more
than 25 different languages automatically. When the
multi-language support option is enabled, all windows and
messages (including member email notices) are translated to the
user's language.
