Grokster, a popular file sharing program that enables users to share any digital file, has selected Softwrap's DRM technology for a new, advertisement-free, paid version of the Grokster software. Softwrap has already proven itself as a viable means to sell and distribute games, utilities and other software through Grokster and other P2P networks. Content developers and owners are confident that their Softwrapped intellectual property will be paid for and protected from piracy.
Wayne Rosso, President of Grokster, said: 'Having looked at a number of DRM solutions, we chose Softwrap to protect the content distributed via our network from illicit copying because their technology offers a complete package - superb security for content providers combined with a very easy to use e-commerce mechanism for end users." Emma Morris, Marketing Director at Softwrap, added: 'As Grokster is one of the world's most popular P2P networks, we're delighted that they've now chosen Softwrap's technology as their DRM solution for their own software too." This announcement further enhances Softwrap's success within the software industry and the P2P network communities. Utilising the secure Softwrap DRM technology means that content owners can safely distribute their software without the concern of piracy, via peer to peer networks such as Grokster. The adoption of Softwrap's technology means these networks can be used positively to their full potential by generating new and secure revenue streams, as opposed to these channels only being a haven for pirated titles. Perhaps surprisingly consumers are applauding the move as it now means they have a reliable legitimate gauranteed virus free alternative in Softwrap titles. |
Several other content developers and publishers such as Eidos Interactive, Ulead Systems and Visiosonic (developers of the popular PCDJ software), have been using this technology already. They can currently distribute their intellectual property across P2P networks including Kazaa. Learn more about Softwrap and read the press release here.
