It is estimated that the Information Industry looses between $1.5 to 4.5 Billion each year due to electronic content piracy and online copyright abuse. Despite the uproar and controversy created by the Entertainment Industry in recent years, most copyright abuse occurs in the Business-to-Business Information segment of the market in the form of intra-organizational distribution of copyrighted material and sharing of passwords to subscription-based web content.

Entitlement Management Solutions (EMS) are Cranium Softworks’ integrated tools for the delivery of content and the protection of that intellectual property over the Internet. EMS manages entitlements and access rights across your subscriber base and ensures that your premium content is not saved, copied or redistributed without your knowledge and authorization and that each subscriber's username/password is used by only one person – the subscriber.

EMS manages the profiles of your online subscriptions and assures that only valid users access content.  EMS also manages and enforces per-seat licensing for corporate site license accounts.

• Unauthorize password sharing is monitored and tracked.
• Usage reports provide the detail necessary to negotiate increased numbers of seats for site licenses or seek remediation through enforcement of copyright statutes.
• Rogue users can be automatically cut off as abuse occurs.
• Enforcement rules can be tailored to the type of subscriber, consumer and small business subscriber, large business subscriber or overseas client.

With EMS users are permitted only to view controlled content online. The content provider can prohibit and prevent users from downloading, copying, forwarding or even printing EMS-controlled content.

• On-line content is encrypted and can be viewed only if accessed from your servers. Locally saved copies of the content are unusable.
• Online content cannot be copied and pasted into other documents or printed from a printer.
• Right click functions: print, save and forward commands can be disabled to prevent content forwarding.
• Effective with all major browsers including: Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox (Mozilla).
