Copy protection for images and image encryption.

ArtistScope CD protects web content distributed by email, download or CD

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.

But if you want to distribute a CD with your portfolio images, product catalogue or a demo web site for a client, ArtistScope CD will do that and prevent its content from being re-used except as another copy of the entire CD.
