Digital Rights Management
ArtistScope DRM is a total control solution for the Digital Rights
Management of documents, images and web pages where an author can assign different
permissions per user or group of users. When DRM rights are assigned the
document 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 a document or web page 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
Word, Html, PowerPoint, Excel and images for distribution as
documents or for web pages
which cannot be copied or printed 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, document 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 document permissions or suspend
document availability at any time. Documents can be
emailed to your group of users or provided as a download.
ArtistScope DRM Enterprise manages both documents and web pages from
an online control panel that includes a extensive suite of
server side tools for document conversion, image and web page
encryption, member administration and distribution by email in
zip format.

Validations
"Validations" are the hits on our database requesting
authorization to access a protected document or web page. Each
page or document requested equals one hit. If a document is
accessed and there is a print limit on the document then the
hits recorded may amount to two.
To enable authors to check their pages and update them
regularly, no hits are recorded when the page is accessed
while logged in using the author's account.
Storage limits
There is no storage limit for any of the account types. Every
user is entitled to upload as many documents and create as
many web pages as they need.
Administration and Distribution

ArtistScope DRM Specifications
ArtistScope DRM is comprised of a suite of tools provided by
ArtistScope and other parties under license. With each DRM
license a full license is provided for each tool for unlimited
use on a single server.
Licensing
The full ArtistScope DRM package is provided with every
license. License keys are required for each web site which are
based on the domain used for administration.
Multiple Sites
Once
ArtistScope DRM is installed on a server, the DRM service can
be shared by other web sites, each with their own
database and online management solution installed within their
own web site. Each additional web site will require separate
licensing and domain code.
Requirements
ArtistScope DRM requires a Windows server with ASP support
plus the option of using either a SQL or Access database.
ArtistScope DRM is fully compatible with FrontPage,
SharePoint, etc.
Installation Support
ArtistScope DRM includes a single installer for all of the
server components. To install DRM you will need to have
administrator rights on the server to set write permissions on
the upload folders and modify some parameters in the settings
files for each web site employing the service.
ArtistScope DRM can be installed by the ArtistScope support
team for an additional fee which can be nominated at the time
of purchase.
Document Upload
Almost any type of file can be uploaded and converted to PDF
using the
Utility Document Converter (UDC). For DRM the UDC is configured for converting Word, Excel and PowerPoint
files to PDF prior to encryption for DRM. Existing PDF
documents can be uploaded without using the UDC.
DRM Conversion
ArtistScope DRM utilizes a custom version of the
CopySafe PDF
Converter which retrieves document information from
your DRM database and encrypts the PDF documents accordingly.
Rights Assignment
Document permissions can be set at the time of upload, or they
can be set later dafter upload/conversion.
In the case of documents converted for DRM, all permissions
including view and print limits, expiry date, group and
individual access rights can be changed at any time.
In the case of documents converted by CopySafe PDF that are
not for DRM, to preserve the integrity of already distributed
publications, the password and expiration date cannot be
changed after encryption:
- Restrict which individual user/s can view the
document
- Set password that can be change at any time by admin
- Allow/disallow printing or set number of print
sessions
- Limit access by IP number or network
- Set expiration date validated by an
independent time server
|
Account Establishment
Each account is self contained with its own upload folder,
output folder and database. You have the choice of SQL or
Access databases, and the choice is yours. For example if you
intend to move your DRM solution to your own site/server at a
later date, choose the database type that you want to use on
your site later and it can be easily exported for its new
home.
Hosting Fees
DRM Hosting is not charged by the month or year. Instead it is
charged by activity. After paying the one time set up fee of
US$250 you also pay in advance a number of hits which are
credited to your account. When your users validate a document
1 hit is recorded. When a user downloads a document via their
user admin or from email invitation 2 hits are recorded per 5
Mb (or part thereof ) of download size. For example one user
downloading a 3.5 Mb DRM document will cost 2 hits. please the
order page for further pricing.
Administration and Distribution
The creation of user accounts, document conversion and
management occurs server side so that it can managed from
remote computers 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.
Multi-language Support
ArtistScope DRM web pages for end users and admin can be
automatically translated depending on which browser language
is detected. ArtistScope DRM includes the ArtistScope Translate module for more than 25
different languages. When
