IBM is now also in the run for a copyright protection solution. With their system called Electronic Media Management System they hope to block illegal use of digital media such a pictures, music and text.
Electronic Media Management System version 2, or EMMS 2, digitally locks content, allowing only those with authorized digital keys to access it. IBM says EMMS 2 can limit or prevent the copying of digital content onto recordable media, and can restrict users' ability to move content from one electronic device to another. |
"We see EMMS working with everything from medical records, online music, and video to electronic books," says Paul Rettig, director of digital media development for IBM.
The EMMS 2 technology, under development for five years, will be available to content developers starting April 30.
