TECHNOLOGIES TO PROTECT COPYRIGHT

Limiting access

  • Password protection
  • Firewalls
  • IP address
  • Hard-wired connections
  • Encryption
  • Physical control (e.g., CD-ROM)

    • Controlling end-user usage

  • "Containers" or "boxes", e.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader, Liquid Audio, InterTrust
  • Streaming formats
  • Low resolutions (e.g., thumbnails or digital watermarks)

    • While a Fair Use arguement is a complex one, employing efforts such as these would support and strengthen a Fair Use case.
