The ArtistScope eBook Store is a free service provided to authors of copy
protected publications.
The difference between the ArtistScope eBook Store and other eBook listing
services is that eBooks created using CopySafe and ArtistScope solutions are
protected from copying and unauthorized distribution using the most secure
solutions available today, while all other eBook solutions are not very well
protected at all. In fact most eBook formats have actually been designed to be
so portable that they can be read in a variety of different eBook readers and on
a variety of different platforms, which makes copy protection and the
enforcement of a DRM policy impossible to maintain.
While some authors only think as far as making a sale of their eBook, others are
thinking beyond sales and considering the loss of their livelihood from the
unauthorized distribution and forwarding to others. Without proper protection
an author only needs to sell one copy for it to be forwarded onto
others, thus
depriving the author of further revenue and livelihood.
Unless an
author intends to encourage the free distribution of their eBooks, then they
need to use CopySafe PDF and the ArtistScope eBook Store which has been
specially designed to manage protected publications.
