Digimarc Launches Digimarc(R) Guardian Watermarking for Publishing - Seite 2

The Digimarc Guardian platform provides publishers with a powerful weapon to both understand and combat the broader piracy ecosystem while protecting revenues. It enables pirated or leaked files to be traced to sources of unauthorized distribution -- either before or after general release. The platform helps publishers identify potentially unreliable distribution channels. While a Digimarc Guardian Watermark can enable a publisher to connect a pirated file to a specific distribution or transaction, the watermark itself contains no personally identifiable information.

As a further disincentive to piracy the platform also allows for the inclusion of visible social watermarks -- such as the customer owner, date of purchase and file protection information -- both for personalization and to discourage unauthorized redistribution.

"Digimarc has a long track record of developing innovative approaches to solving the problem of digital piracy," said Eraj Siddiqui, President of Digimarc Guardian. "Digimarc Guardian Watermarking is a natural extension and complement to our web crawling and enforcement services, providing publishers and distributors with a full-circle solution for protecting revenues and the rights of content owners. We're very pleased to be working with HarperCollins and LibreDigital as we launch this service."
