Digital Media Protection and Tracking

---

Before a consumer receives or downloads any content distributed through our platforms, we make certain to protect the content from piracy or theft. If a consumer decides to share the content with someone else via the Internet or offline, we continue to protect the content with DRM software.  Once a consumer acquires specific content, Darris Hoskins tracks the content and everyone it is shared with maintains an ongoing marketing program with that consumer – tracking and serving their further needs and wants for further content and services.

 

The DRM process for our distributed content is simple:

1. A consumer downloads content/media and the content “phones home” to our license service alerting Darris Hoskins that consumer wants to open the content up and play it.
2. A browser window opens on the consumer’s computer desktop asking them to register and/or pay to consume the content.  The consumer is given the option to preview the content.
3. The consumer registers for the content.
4. The content use is registered by Darris Hoskins, and
5. The consumer gets to acquire the content.

 

 

A content owner wants to offer consumers the option to preview songs or a movie before buying the content. In this model, a consumer is allowed to preview the media for a predetermine period of time before acquiring the content. If the consumer decides they want the content, the consumer must then register or pay for the content. The content owner is able to promote their music or films on the Internet while cutting down on marketing costs by strengthening their direct marketing capabilities.

Promotional Model

The Promotional Model allows content owners to give away FREE samples of content, while harvesting information such as email, address, age, gender, and location about consumers. In this model, to access FREE content a consumer must answer a series of questions that content owners have defined. Only after the consumer has entered the information will the consumer be given free access to the content.

Pay-Per-View Movies, Television Shows and Videos

A content owner creates a digital cinematic experience for consumers similar to cable or satellite pay-per-view. In this model a consumer downloads a file via various digital media channels, provides registration information and a credit card, and rents/licenses a movie-show-video to play on his PC and/or portable device.

Subscription Model

In the subscription model, for a specified frequency of time, say - $10 a month, a consumer is allowed unlimited access to a large collection of media from a specific content owner. Consequently, the consumer downloads a number of pieces of media and plays them as often they want. Darris Hoskins allows content owner(s) to create a license model with start and end dates. For each piece of media the consumer selects, a license that expires on the last period of the designated time is pre-delivered to them. After the expiration date, the consumer can no longer play the content because the license has expired. The consumer is automatically prompted to pay the subscription fee after which the consumer is issued new license(s) that expire at the end of pre-designated period.

One File, Different Licenses Model

If a consumer finds any of our distributed media, the consumer is asked during the download process to choose the license agreement type they desire. In this model the consumer can be given a choice:
