This book was redesigned to help you chart a confident course through the technologies, business issues, and solutions in an industry in a constant state of flux. Author shows the principles behind digital rights management: the existing content provider environments in which the industry was born, the new business models that are possible through DRM solutions, the fundamentals of the relevant technologies, and how to combine it all into solutions that make sense for your business. The present edition will be of interest to people who work on the technology side of the industry. If you are a technologist, you will find this book useful for learning about the business issues that concern content providers. It will also appeal to those third parties with a vested interest in the world of digital content technology: investors, analysts, venture capitalists, consultants, and so on. Read this book to get more insight about DRM in one place than has heretofore been available, at any price.
