VYOU.COM INTRODUCES SOFTWARE TO PROTECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ON
THE INTERNET
California software startup Vyou.com recently released software
that protects Web sites' content.  The software prevents
intellectual property such as text, images, and source code from
being printed, saved, or co-opted without the Web site's
permission.  The Web site's main page is protected by a pop-up
window that allows users to view the page; objects on the page,
such as images and sidebars, are protected separately if the Web
publisher so desires.  Vyou.com CEO Peter Levy says the company
is a "do-gooder of the Web" that aims to improve the quality of
online intellectual property.  One of the benefits of Vyou.com's
software is that it does not display Web content as a separate,
special file, and thus does not alienate Web site visitors, says
one professional photographer who uses the software.  Two other
companies, ICopyright and Intertrust Technologies, also offer
software that helps protect proprietary content on the Web.
