Key Features

CopySafe PDF Protection: According to the vendor, this feature protects PDF documents from unauthorized copying, printing, and sharing by utilizing encryption and DRM technologies. It allows control over access and viewing permissions and offers options to disable text selection, printing, and copying of content within the protected PDFs.

CopySafe Video Protection: The vendor claims that this feature safeguards videos from unauthorized downloading, copying, and sharing by applying encryption and DRM technologies. It provides options to disable video downloading, screen capturing, and sharing via social media platforms. Control over access and viewing permissions is available.

CopySafe Web Protection: The vendor states that this feature protects web pages and website content from unauthorized copying and distribution by using encryption and DRM technologies. It offers options to disable right-clicking, text selection, and copying of content within protected web pages. Access and viewing permissions can be controlled.

CopySafe WordPress: According to the vendor, this feature enables copy protection for WordPress pages and posts, preventing all copy including screen capture. It provides options for password protection or DRM to restrict sharing and downloading. Additional features include limiting the number of downloads, views, and usage per subscriber, multi-language support, and integrated DRM management for selling protected content.

Video DRM: The vendor claims that CopySafe Video provides DRM for user rights and permissions to open and view media. It offers options such as password protection, unique computer identification, access limitations, and prevention of file and password sharing. DRM can be managed through server requests for both online and offline viewing.

OS and Device Support: According to the vendor, CopySafe Video requires a Windows desktop computer for usage, while ASPS (ArtistScope Site Protection Software) supports Windows, Mac, Android, and iPhone devices. Site owners can choose to allow or restrict access to protected content based on the operating system and device used.

Server Requirements: The vendor states that CopySafe Video can be used on any webpage hosted anywhere, including shared hosting servers. ASPS requires installation below the root level of a website and therefore needs dedicated or virtual servers. Virtual servers are recommended for website protection as they provide more bandwidth and are unaffected by other websites' traffic.

Video Processing and Encoding: According to the vendor, CopySafe Video requires video files to be encrypted before uploading for protection. It uses proprietary HTML for embedding the player on web pages, with available plugins and add-ons for popular CMS like WordPress. ASPS allows the use of any video file format and embedded player, including plugins for CMS. It supports streaming services and allows users to disable MSE (Media Source Extensions) in the ArtisBrowser preferences.

Video Decryption and Buffering: The vendor claims that CopySafe Video decrypts videos before displaying them, which can affect buffering and synchronization. ASPS is said to be unaffected by buffering and can display raw video in any format hosted anywhere. The vendor recommends using media servers for hosting videos to ensure appropriate bitrate and quality based on user download speed.
