As a reseller, DCM, Digital Communication Media AB can now provide SafeDisc's copy protection system directly to customers of its CD-ROM disc manufacturing services. Macrovision's reseller program was developed for CD-ROM replicators to expand the company's distribution channels. The SafeDisc Reseller Program enables software publishers and content owners to obtain copy protection directly from DCM.

"We recognise the value of offering customers a single point of contact for replication, packaging, distribution and copy protection services," said Anders Sandstrom, DCM's Managing Director. Sandstrom added, "We investigated several copy protection technologies and found SafeDisc to offer superior security at an attractive price."

"We are pleased to partner with DCM who have a very strong presence in the Nordic regions and are well positioned to promote SafeDisc to a wide range of content publishers," said Paul Stevens, SafeDisc Reseller Program Manager for Europe.

"Macrovision's SafeDisc copy protection for the PC CD-ROM industry provides significant commercial opportunities for our potential resellers," continued Stevens. "Authorised resellers will have the opportunity to service a worldwide base of 25,000 customers with the backing of an established organization, infrastructure and a world leading product."

SafeDisc is comprised of an authenticating digital signature embedded on the CD-ROM disc, an encryption wrapper, and an anti-hacking technology that secures the CD-ROM executable. The patented SafeDisc digital signature cannot be copied by standard CD-R drives. SafeDisc is a turnkey solution that allows the publisher to add encryption during the normal pre-mastering process and to QA the encrypted gold disc. All the major data verification and physical test equipment vendors modified their standard QA applications to support the testing of SafeDisc-protected discs for large volume productions with the same level quality and reliability available for standard disc production. SafeDisc has demonstrated over 99% compatibility with existing PC CD-ROM hardware and software worldwide. SafeDisc was determined by Philips Electronics to be the only copy protection technology that conforms to the Yellow Book CD-ROM standards.
