ArtistScope provides free extensions for adding copy protection and encrypted media into Joomla web pages. Adding any media, especially encrypted media, to Joomla web pages can be beyond the skills of those web developers who rely on the tools provided by Joomla. However these extensions dramatically simply those tasks, reducing them to simple point and click procedures.
Media File Types
Encrypted media use different file names to differentiate their processes so that web servers can better cater for their delivery. For example an encrypted image will no longer use a .jpg or .gif file extension. Consequently the normal upload process for such images will be different to prevent users from mistakenly uploading the wrong file type when they should be uploading the encrypted version.
Encrypted media also requires different methods to display or play on web pages. For example, while your web site may include embedded media players, they will not be able to play encrypted video that has been copy protected. Mainly because generic players would be a security threat if they could decrypt your protected video and display it anywhere. Nor could they deliver the proprietary buffering that our media player uses.
So for encrypted and copy protected media, proprietary viewers and players are required.
Web Browser Support
As of late 2015 popular web browser no longer support NPAPI plugins which are required to interact at system level for real copy protection and user identification. So the popular web browsers can no longer support real copy protection. Sure, there are some advertised as being able to, but they offer weak and superficial protection that is easy to exploit.
To support real copy protection and close the holes that popular web browsers always exposed, ArtistScope provide a purpose designed web browser known as the ArtisBrowser. While your copy protected media is viewed using the ArtisBrowser, there are no avenues left for possible exploit. Media resource links cannot be located, media cannot be saved or downloaded and the data on the web page cannot be retrieved from browser cache or memory. In fact, when SSL is used, nothing can be traced even when using packet-sniffers.
ArtistScope FREE Extensions for Joomla
The following extensions are provided for free, however you will need software licenses to create the encrypted media for upload to your web site:
ASPS Tag Management
The Joomla extension for ASPS Tag Management provides management for the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS). ASPS is a server side filter that encrypts web pages prior to delivery to the user's computer. ASPS Tag Management is used by site owners to nominate which pages are to be encrypted for ASPS, leaving all other pages for normal delivery.

CopySafe Web Protection
The Joomla extension for CopySafe Web enables site owners and admins to upload encrypted and copy protected images for viewing on your XXX web pages.

CopySafe Web is a simpler less expensive alternative to the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) which requires a dedicated or virtual server.
