ArtistScope CD released to copy protect web content on CD. |
ArtistScope CD allows the viewing of protected content in web
browsers.
It can be used with either Copysafe or Secure Image Pro which
are encapsulated into a compiled executable that contains your
protected content and plug-in installers.
ArtistScope CD, which allows the viewing of protected content
in all browsers, is not designed to prevent redistribution of
the CD itself, as is desired with music CDs. Copy protection
for the music industry has entirely different requirements,
namely that what is on the CD cannot be burnt to other CDs and
freely redistributed. ArtistScope CD on the other hand, allows
the redistribution of the CD (which has usually been released
for promotional purposes) but it prevents the copying of
individual components that could be otherwise used/sold in
other projects.
ArtistScope CD creates a master file that can copied to CDs
for ease of distribution of product samples and catalogues The
individual images cannot be copied from the CD. To ensure that
the content is properly secured, prior to processing by
ArtistScope CD, your content such as images and pages can be
protected using either Copysafe or Secure Image Pro.
With the CD market having much more potential due to the
royalties involved in music and video, there has been a lot of
companies bidding for a piece of the action. Protecting the
redistribution of music files by protecting the CD is an
ongoing battle and always will be unless the player can be
controlled. Increasing the penalties for redistribution and
Copyright breaches is the better way to go but is difficult
because let's face it, most people want something for nothing
and will go to any lengths to get it.
