Using Flash for Digital Right Management

Thu, 27 Oct 2005 17:00:00 EDT

Flash and Digital Rights Management is a topic not often discussed. In fact I tried to do a little research on the topic for this article and could turn up very little. I must start this article off by discussing why I wanted to get digital rights manament (or DRM as all the cool people call it) going for a project I recently worked on. Recently I self-published a book called Web Designers Success Guide. After being no-so thrilled with publishing with larger publishers (they tend to give you fat advance and you never see royalties due to 'hidden' clauses in the big old contract you sign) I decided to write and publish my own book using Lulu. The process is simple, you create your book in what ever program you want (I use InDesign CS2) and then upload it as a PDF. They print it on demand as people buy it. Lulu offers authors the ability to sell the book as a PDF and via dead tree (paper). I decided that selling the PDF would be bad since my target audience are very wired web designers and my PDF would end up making the old Peer-to-Peer book tour and I won't get paid!
