How it works

CopySafe Web uses a secure web browser known as ArtisBrowser which has been especially designed to copy protect web pages where all other web browsers fail.

When a visitor loads a CopySafe Web copy protected page their browser is checked for the ArtisBrowser, and if not found, they are redirected to a download page. After installing the ArtisBrowser, the visitor can return to explore your protected web pages.

More information and online demos protecting a variety of different media can be seen at the CopySafe Web Protection website.
