DRM Philosophy

There is intense discussion regarding DRM best practices in the publishing industry today. The CyberWolf Download Service™ has been designed to provide you with the flexibility to easily customize your DRM strategy to the needs of your specific consumer demographics. DRM settings (including strong Adobe Content Server DRM protections, social DRM or even no DRM at all) are easily managed within the web-based CDS interface and are set at an individual product level. For instance, a publisher might choose to maintain strict DRM on frontlist and bestseller titles, while utilizing no or social stamping DRM options on backlist titles.
