Opis

In the digital world the management and protection of digital assets and the rights associated with them from unauthorized access, use and dissemination has for a long time been a matter of concern for many rights holders, and the protection of privacy a matter of concern for many users. A distributed Digital Rights Management (DRM) system is ideally suited to providing the necessary protection and management. This book investigates and describes a distributed DRM model, which fulfills this purpose. This analysis should be especially useful to professionals in e-Government, e-Business, e-Entertainment, e-Learning, and e-Health, to all stakeholders in the Intellectual Property (IP) value chain, content producers, owners, distributors, consumers, technology providers, etc., and to anyone who is planning to protect and manage rights in connection with any form of digital information in a free, balanced, equitable and commercially viable society.
