GiliSoft DRM Protection – Comprehensive Protection for E-Book Security
In the era of booming digital content, copyright protection and secure distribution of e-books have become focal points for content creators and publishers. Recently, we received an inquiry from customer Glen Lewis regarding GiliSoft DRM Protection for eBooks, whose questions are of general relevance. Here, we combine professional insights to elaborate on GiliSoft DRM Protection’s solutions in e-book protection, helping you better understand and utilize our products.
I. How do buyers use e-books after purchase and download? Do they need to manually enter a license or key?
When encrypting e-books with GiliSoft DRM Protection, you can choose from the following three methods during the encryption phase—no need to manually provide licenses or keys for each purchase:
Method 1: Fixed Password
After setting a fixed password, buyers can enter it on any computer with the specified reader installed to access the e-book. This approach suits scenarios where e-books need to be shared within a specific group (e.g., a target user base) while maintaining basic access control.
Method 2: Computer Binding
By binding the buyer’s machine code, the e-book can only be used on the specified computer. Buyers provide their machine code to the seller to obtain a playback password, which unlocks the e-book via our dedicated reader. This method strictly restricts device usage, fundamentally preventing unauthorized access.
Method 3: Password-Free Direct Playback
After downloading, buyers can read the e-book directly via the dedicated reader without entering any password. This offers the most convenient experience, ideal for streamlining processes and enhancing user experience.
Notably, all three methods effectively prohibit screenshot operations to prevent content from being easily copied. For anti-sharing, Method 2’s strict device binding minimizes the risk of e-books being shared to other devices.
II. How does GiliSoft DRM address unauthorized distribution and piracy? Can it prevent e-books from being shared via email? What about printing and screenshots?
GiliSoft DRM Protection excels in anti-piracy and permission control:
Blocking Illegal Sharing
To prevent buyers from sharing e-books via email or other means, choose Method 2 (machine code binding). By linking the e-book to the buyer’s hardware information (machine code), even if others obtain the file, they cannot open it on unapproved devices—eliminating sharing at its source.
Restricting Printing and Screenshots
During encryption, you can disable printing, screenshotting, and screen recording based on needs. Advanced technology prevents users from capturing content via physical printing or screen capture, safeguarding your intellectual property comprehensively.
III. Which EPUB and PDF readers does GiliSoft DRM Protection support?
GiliSoft DRM Protection supports a wide range of e-book formats, including epub, mobi, azw3, htmlz, lit, txtz, docm, rb, pmlz, snb, tcr, fb2, bdb, lrf, mdf, etc. However, please note that e-books encrypted by GiliSoft can only be opened via our dedicated reader.
IV. How does GiliSoft DRM outperform common readers like Adobe Acrobat Reader or Google Play Books?
Popular public readers like Adobe Acrobat Reader, Google Play Books, and Apple Books have limitations in copyright protection—they cannot implement advanced permission controls like screenshot or print bans. In contrast, GiliSoft DRM’s dedicated reader is purpose-built to address these gaps. It supports the aforementioned formats and strictly enforces the permission policies set during encryption, ensuring e-book content is used only on authorized devices and in specified ways—providing rock-solid protection for your digital content.
