ADVANCES IN DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY
Today's digital marketplace is disorderly and complex, creating unnecessary
barriers between those who develop and distribute content and those who
seek and use it. In order to address this complexity and remove the barriers
slowing digital commerce, Digital Rights Management (DRM) must be an
integral part of any successful e-commerce strategy. Digital Rights
Management (DRM) solutions help content owners realize the full potential
of the Internet and digital distribution by providing them with the management
capabilities and end-to-end business support they need to continuously
derive value from their digital content assets.
A true DRM solution is a software and service offering that goes beyond
just preventing unauthorized copying, but also creates a safe, robust
environment for:
publishers to drive continuous business opportunities
content managers to provide the best content online
consumers to access "need-to-know" content in a timely manner
Tim Lafferty will provide an overview Digital Rights Management and several
applications that are available today.
