May 3/2000 Rightsmarket Launches RightsPublish Digital Fullfillment Service Calgary, Alberta -- RightsMarket, a world leader in digital rights management technology, announces the successful implementation of the RightsPublish website. This world beating service emulates and integrates with Publisher's websites to provide a seamless distribution system for all types of econtent. This website will be used by digital content owners to rapidly exploit new web based marketing opportunities for books and other text documents. The RightsPublish website is a digital rights fulfilment service, which allows authors and publishers to securely and quickly distribute text documents over the world wide web with minimal investment on their part. We invite content owners from around the world to come to www.RightsPublish.com and use the technology to see for themselves how easy it can be to securely publish documents on the web. To do this, an author or publisher uploads a document to RightsPublish website and specifies terms of use. RightsMarket technology protects the document with persistent encryption, stores it for future download, and catalogues identifying and selling data. A consumer locates the document in the catalogue, downloads it to his computer; opens and views it. RightsMarket technology, Use Right, protects the document in accordance with the terms of use set forth by the author. The RightsPublish service was tested by independent technology consultants, APG Solutions and Technologies Inc., on April 14, 2000, and determined to be operational and functional. RightsPublish is being marketed by senior publishing agents in the U.S., who will sign up authors and publishers to take advantage of this new digital publishing model. Later this year RightsPublish will provide a secure solution for the distribution of music with the addition of a Winamp music player. "RightsPublish is a secure digital publishing solution that creates the foundation for a new publishing model," states Lindsay Moir, RightsMarket's President & CEO. It allows authors and publishers to sell their works online and provides a new global distribution channel for digital content, including text, music and eventually video", Moir says. "RightsPublish is the leading contender in this burgeoning field."
