TrusCont Ltd., a leader in copy protection and DRM solutions, announced it is offering its new DVD-ROM security system free of charge and without commitments until 15 June 2010. The new copy-protection includes a number of advanced security features above and beyond protecting data against copying and illegal distribution.

Publishers can enable or restrict specific actions such as printing and copy & paste on individual files. It is also possible to set global passwords on the discs or ‘on-access’ passwords on specific files. Publishers can even set expiration dates to make their content automatically expire and inaccessible after a specific date.

Another special feature allows publishers to limit the use of the content to a specific number of computers or users. This feature also enables locking of data to a specific network domain which makes the data inaccessible on computers not connected to the specific network domain.

Using TrusCont DVD-ROM copy protection is a simple do-it-yourself process. Publishers that wish to protect their discs need to register on TrusCont website and download the free DVD Protection Toolkit software. The software allows users to burn a Gold Master on a standard DVD-R disc, which can then be sent to a replication facility for mass production. Any replicator can process TrusCont-protected Gold Masters using a free software utility available from TrusCont.
