Protect ebook and fulfill ebook

The development of the internet era has democratized information and given us free access to it. Because of the ease of access, there has been an increase in internet piracy. eBook piracy involves illicit distribution or replication. It is a problem that affects publishers and writers, who are always seeking for ways to secure eBooks.

To protect your ebook use 1. Set Up DRM (Digital Rights Management):

DRM ensures that the digital documents, eBooks, and web-based content is protected against data leakage, theft, and misuse. It’s a data encryption method which prevents anyone from accessing content without a proper access key.

DRM ensures that only authorized users have access to your eBook. You can embed your content with the DRM protection software ensuring the protection of your eBooks against unauthorized use and misuse.

2. Social DRM (Watermarking):

This is a visible or invisible watermark which is embedded into the eBook code at the time of the transaction. It includes the buyer’s personal details such as name, email address and sometimes the publisher or author details.

This technique helps prevent widespread circulation of your content because the original buyer’s details are embedded into the eBook, and he/she wouldn’t risk being caught distributing your content. In case of an infringement, publishers can easily track the individual and file a lawsuit against them.

3. Restrict Editing:

Secure your pdf file before making them public by restricting editing, screen reading and copying to clipboard options. There are various software tools available which allow you to restrict users from editing and printing your document. Thus, you can prevent sharing and unauthorized changes from being made to your content.

4. Password Protect your eBook Files:

When someone purchases a copy of your eBook, email them the password. This way you can be assured that genuine users have access to your eBooks. Only those who buy your copies can have the access codes to open the eBook. Although this won’t stop these buyers from sharing their password with their family and friends, it could prevent unauthorized downloads.

5. Legal Copyright Protection:

Register for copyright protection. This would help in proving that you are the creator and the rightful owner of your work. Create a legal notice stating that all rights are reserved by you and get it verified from a lawyer so that if anyone tries to copy or resell your content, you can easily sue them.
