CopySafe Video 7.0 Released for Professional Video Publishers

GYMPIE, Australia -- ArtistScope, a leading developer of copy protection for more than 20 years, has released a new version of CopySafe Video Protection. This new version is especially designed for professional video publishers and includes desirable features that enable them to distribute the highest quality video with the most effective protection from all avenues of piracy and exploit. In essence, it protects their livelihood.

Enhancements include a new video encryption algorithm that increases the file size after encryption by no more than a few KB, even on extremely large files. No compression is used to achieve that, so there is absolutely no loss of quality. When compared to the original, nothing is changed. With this new encryption algorithm, decryption by the client is almost immediate and consumes no computer resources, enabling authors to distribute video files of one GB and more.

Another unique feature of CopySafe Video Protection is that it can be viewed from different sources - desktops and online from web pages. In fact, there's no other solution that can effectively display copy-protected video on web pages. Typically, viewing encrypted video online requires that the file complete downloading before it can be decrypted for viewing. CopySafe Video Protection has special buffering so huge video files can start playing online almost immediately.

While CopySafe Video is impossible to screen record when played on a desktop and online, optional watermarking is included to prevent the recording of screens using video recording cameras. When DRM is applied, the user's name, account number and date can be displayed on the video, providing a powerful deterrent for copy and redistribution. When displayed from a website, the watermark will show the same user details as if logged on, otherwise their IP address and date will be displayed.

Publishers can distribute CopySafe Video with embedded protection via shared passwords, or they can distribute with DRM that locks each user's access to the video to their computer. This makes it impossible to share the video, even when sharing passwords.

"CopySafe DRM is most unique in that it can provide DRM for both online and offline viewing," says ArtistScope founder and CEO, William Kent. "For offline, the user can collect DRM tokens after logging into their DRM account. Online DRM is a live, call-to-home validation request that gives publishers 'total control' over all aspects, with immediate effect on any changes made, even to video files already saved to the user's computer or still out in the wild on disk."

Publishers can also manage DRM from an online control panel that's provided with every CopySafe Video Encoder software license. Such DRM accounts are unlimited in the number of videos, subscribers and groups that can be managed and DRM accounts are free forever. Free support and upgrades are also included for life with the one-time purchase of US$295.

The CopySafe Video Encoder will encrypt single video files or in batches by folder selection, catering to all types of video file formats including ASF, AVI, MKV, MP4 and WMV.

CopySafe Video Protection requires a Windows computer; however, the encoder and player are supported on all versions of Windows including XP.

The bottom line: CopySafe solutions provides the most secure and robust media copy protection.

The Return of Broadway: Broadway Barter is Here to Make Your Post COVID-19 Reopening a Success!

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Broadway is back in 2021! Broadway Barter, celebrating 25 years of trading media for producer empty seats, announced that it is giving its support to Broadway by offering all theaters the opportunity to prepare, if not already done, with the state-of-the-art air filtration upgrade using Ultra Violet protection.

For more information on COVID-19 and UV protection, visit HealthLine and NPR. After all, it's the comfort and safety for all theatergoers that must be the priority. When they see the certification posted at each entrance and exit at our participating theaters, they will know this theater had their safety first.

In a press conference, NYC mayor Bill de Blasio said that he expects Broadway and off-Broadway shows to reopen by September and that he plans to facilitate that target date. Every theater must meet the safety requirements, per de Blasio's office, which will be inspecting them all prior to reopening. "Broadway needs to come back, and we will move heaven and Earth to bring Broadway back," he said. The dates and the percentage of audience attendance will be announced officially by The Broadway League shortly once more decisions are made by de Blasio in the upcoming months.

Broadway Barter also recognizes the affects COVID-19 has had across many industries; especially health care workers and youth in the arts. Broadway Barter is pledging 5% of all sales to give back to local health care workers and underserved children in the arts by providing them tickets to Broadway shows. Everyone should be able to enjoy the joys of Broadway and they are proud to be able to serve the community by providing that opportunity.

If you'd like to schedule a complimentary site inspection with your proposal, contact Broadway Barter and cover 1/2 the cost by bartering empty seats. Broadway Barter is also promoting participating shows on major radio, TV news, and in its new, upcoming Broadway section in Hemispheres Magazine on all

United Airlines flights. Over 4 million travelers will have the chance to see what's coming on Broadway. June, July, August, and September sponsorships are available for both TV spots and Hemispheres placement, with only one show featured each month on the news.

Please go to the Broadway Barter website to learn more about what they can do for your re-opening and to view the safety and media kit. If you wish to participate or get more information, call today at +1-844-922-3959.

More information: https://broadwaybarter.com/

About Broadway Barter:

Formed in 1996, Broadway Barter has developed a successful formula of filling unsold theater seats for increased revenue to the producers and at the same time generating media exposure. A theater seat has no value once a show's over. 80-90% of an average show is sold. Broadway Barter turns that remaining 10-20% of unused seats into valuable advertising exposure.

Broadway Barter's program is based on combining a Trade/Cash blend that delivers your target audience. Its unique and creative formula has made it one of the most competitive media sources in the market today.

Primary Business:

* Media Promotion and Media Placement for Broadway Shows

* Off-Broadway Shows

* Lincoln Center Productions

* Out-of-Town Performances (Shows on the Road)

When Walt Disney wanted to promote their musical, "Beauty & the Beast," they turned to barter as a means to offset a good deal of advertising expenses. They used a blend of show tickets and cash to achieve their goal. Previously unsold tickets, which were worthless if not filled, were used to generate print ads in inflight magazines, thus optimizing revenue and performance attendance.
