DRM Technology Vendors: Smaller Players

The intent of this table is to list DRM technology vendors which:

  • Are not already covered elsewhere on these pages, except possibly for brief entries in our DRM Dictionary.
  • Are apparently active i.e. have live Web sites.
  • Are commercial. There is actually some open source DRM as well, although that movement has arguably stalled.
  • Cover the PC/internet/wireless mass market.
  • Deal with content that includes documents, ebooks, software, music and video.

Of course it's hard to to tell from a Web site how active or successful a company is. Do your homework !

This page is maintained by DRM expert Gord Larose. If you have suggestions about these or other companies, please email !
