CyberOptic Group Announces Digital Rights Director

CYBEROPTIC GROUP RELEASES DIGITAL RIGHTS DIRECTOR^TM COPYRIGHT PROTECTION FOR DIGITAL CONTENT OWNERS
Boca Raton, Florida 12/15/2003 - CyberOptic Group, LLC, a Florida-based Internet technologies company, announced today the availability of Digital Rights Director^TM, a new service for musicians, videographers, and other content owners that gives protection against unauthorized access and distribution of streaming or downloadable audio and video files.
Digital Rights Director^TM allows any number of restrictions to be imposed on media files, such as limiting to an expiration date, number of plays, and even the ability to transfer to a portable device.
Digital Rights Director^TM allows streaming and downloadable media to be sold using a Pay-to-Play business model that prevents anyone from accessing the file without first having to remit payment, regardless of how they receive the file. Streaming media/web casts, web site downloads, CD/DVD distribution, e-mail, or peer to peer file sharing are all controlled, including the number of times the file can be accessed
In addition to asset security for streaming media, Digital Rights Director^TM allows content owners to effectively promote their content while collecting valuable customer information such as names, email addresses, and/or any other desired information.
Jonathan Castleman, CyberOptic Group's President, states, "Although the Internet is widely used by consumers to access audio and video content, content owners have been reluctant to release their premium content over the web and have resorted to shipping tapes, CD's and DVD's. Digital Rights Director^TM allows content owners to take advantage of the enormous distribution benefits offered by the Internet while eliminating the concerns of unauthorized access and distribution of their intellectual property. Digital Rights Director^TM has numerous business applications including digital media preview-and-purchase, pay-per-view audio or video, corporate presentations requiring protection of sensitive material, distance learning, online promotions, CD/DVD distribution, and subscription audio/video sales models.
