How does INTENT protect copyright/ownership?
INTENT protects copyrights and ownership by legally licensing media from the copyright holder(s), and therefore gaining their permission to distribute their digital media. Subsequently, INTENT digitally protects each media file it has rights to distribute with copy protection software called Digital Rights Management, (DRM). DRM is the umbrella term referring to any of several technologies used to enforce pre-defined policies controlling access to software, music, movies, or other digital data. In more technical terms, DRM handles the description, layering, analysis, valuation, trading and monitoring of the rights held over a digital work. In sum, through proper legal agreements, and DRM, INTENT can control and/or restrict the use and access of digital media via P2P or on electronic devices ONLY when NECESSARY to prevent loss of ownership of copyrighted works.
