Who can use CopySafe?
Virtually anybody. CopySafe Web does NOT require a dedicated server and has NO special requirements except support for html which is always available regardless of the type of web site or the server hosting your web site. In fact CopySafe Web can also be run from CD when using solutions like ArtistScope CD.
CopySafe Web can be employed in all web projects ranging from artist home pages to corporate surveys and financial reports. Most use it on the Internet while others such as banks and financial institutions use it within their intranets where it can provide the most secure solution imaginable.
Why do visitors need to download the CopySafe plugin?
Without the CopySafe Web plugin it is impossible to protect your content from ALL saving and capture. Other methods offered not utilising the CopySafe Web plugin will only be protected from naive Internet users and not from those who are determined to get your images. There is no other solution available that effectively prevents Printscreen and ALL screen capture.
How long does it take to set up CopySafe Web on a web site?
The CopySafe Web solution can be utilised on any web page by simply copying a few lines of code to the html. To convert your images to encrypted format utilising domain lock, the CopySafe Web converter will import images (single or batch mode) and save then to html pages ready for immediate upload to your site or you can use those new pages for the code to replace the images already on your web site.
What precautions do I need to ensure that security is maintained?
Common sense. CopySafe Web documentation recommended guidelines to avoid common pitfalls such as exposing your site to folder view by not including a default start page such as index.html, default.htm , etc according on your server's requirement. It is most recommended that your visitors access the protected pages via an index page that first checks that they do in fact have the plugin installed and that their web browser is compliant, for example with JavaScript and Java enabled. CopySafe Web includes instructions and sample code for the detection of all requirements. Security sensitive content should not be directly linked from your home page unless you want search engines to find it.
Can I set up CopySafe Web pages for e-commerce and live sales?
Yes. CopySafe Web code inserts can be added to the existing templates of your shopping cart or image gallery. You can use the CopySafe Web software to create your own insert codes, or you can use CopySafe Web Insert which provides ready made insert templates created for your site by ArtistScope.
Does CopySafe provide plugin support with certification?
CopySafe Web plugins for Internet Explorer and the Firefox plugins are code signed using Microsoft Authenticode for verification of ArtistScope authenticity.
Are there any limitations with links to CopySafe pages?
None, except that we don't recommend letting your visitors link directly to your CopySafe pages without first reading an introduction or caution message regarding the high level of security. Directing new visitors to an intro page also ensures that they already the plugin installed and that there visit will be trouble free.
Does ArtistScope have a process for maintaining updates in CopySafe Web?
Yes. When an update is available any new features are added into the plugin. Updates do not affect the software program nor affect any content on your web site except for modification to one single file to change the version number. Any subsequent visitors to your protected content will then advised to update their plugin so that your site can be afforded the latest in security.
