Digital Rights Management (DRM)

---

ArtistScope DRM is a total control solution for the Digital Rights Management of PDF documents and video where an author can assign different permissions per user or group of users. When DRM rights are assigned the media becomes "for their eyes only " and any copies of that document forwarded on cannot be viewed by others unless they also have rights of view.

Protect financial data and portfolios

Provide financial data and statistics to valued clients. ArtistScope DRM is the most secure DRM solution imaginable. Tokens cannot be forged and certificates cannot be copied and redistributed. When media is tagged for DRM the back end is checked for their rights of access.

Copy protect photographs, plans and drawings

Upload and protect various file types including PDF, Word, Html, PowerPoint, Excel and video for distribution that cannot be copied or screen captured unless you allow the privilege. Publish using any combination of DRM or copy protection rules or none at all.

Administrate and distribute from anywhere

The creation of user accounts, media conversion and distribution can be managed online from any computer in the world. Create new users, assign administrators and other special users permitted to submit publications, update DRM permissions or suspend media availability at any time. Media can be emailed to your group of users or provided as a download.

• Restrict which users or groups can view media.
• Set expiration on media validated by time server.
• Allow or limit the number of views per user or group.
• Allow or limit the number of prints per user or group.
• Upload, convert and protect almost any type of document.
