Is Web Reader a web browser?
While ArtistScope Web Reader is not intended to compete with popular web
browsers, it does possess the same functionality and support for all of the
different types of web page content and scripting as the popular web browsers do.
However it only displays protected content. If a link on a protected page takes
the visitor to an unprotected page, it will be opened automatically in the
default browser.
Web Reader will protect my IP, but will it be a positive
experience for my visitors?
ArtistScope Web Reader is designed to be more streamlined and user-friendly than a typical browsing experience. The peace of mind of content-protection for site owners means that even anonymous visitors can experience a wider range of content and content that they might otherwise have been charged to experience.
But from the start the experience is as seamless as visiting any web site. New visitors are taken through the process of downloading the Reader, and once installed any future visits start the Reader automatically. The Reader size can be tailored to the dimensions of the page content. No more rendering of pages in a browser window that is too big or too small, with a degraded user experience in each case until the user manually resizes the window to fit the content.
The protection mechanisms in Web Reader are completely transparent and don’t interfere with normal computer use. ArtistScope Web Reader is not designed to be a replacement for a standard web browser, but the user won’t know any different except in a good way. The experience for the user is less like an open browsing experience and more like using an application tailored for your content. In fact, our aim is that your visitors love the simplicity and ease of use of Web Reader and see the experience as a plus for your site.
What are the minimum requirements for ASPS?
For now, the minimum server-side requirement is Windows and IIS 6 or above, and the ability to
administrate IIS. The minimum server-side requirement is Windows XP or above. Filters for Apache web servers
will be available soon.
What are the limitations of ASPS if any?
For now ArtistScope Web Reader is available for all Windows
versions from XP and later. Support for Mac OSX will available
soon.
How long does it take to get started with ASPS?
From the time of placing your order, your site can be protected
within 24 hours.
What preparation is needed - can existing pages be protected?
Yes. All that is required is the addition of a single HTML tag to the top of the page, and the page and all page content will be automatically protected. Only Web Reader will be able to receive the page content,
and any other browser that requests that page will receive a standard message.
It doesn't matter what media or programming language is used.
How does ASPS licensing work?
The ArtistScope Web Reader is a free download, however licensing
for the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) is per server or domain name, and based on the second
level TLD. For example if your license is for
artistscope.com, then it can also be used on
www.artistscope.com,
other.artistscope.com,
another.artistscope.com and so on, as long as all sites are on the
same server. If an additional server is used it will require an
additional license. Otherwise each different domain name will
require a separate license.
Can the web reader be branded with our company logo?
Yes. But not branded with a logo. Instead the name of the web
reader that appears in the title bar can assume a name that
you nominate. For example where you now see
"ArtistScope Web Reader", when users visit your web site they
could see "YourCompany Web Reader".
ArtistScope Web Reader is available as a free
download to the public, but we can prepare custom installers to
include your company name and logo, and any additional changes
to wording and user agreement. Changes to appear in different
languages are to be provided by you or at your cost.
Branding and custom
installer fees can be quoted on request.
What language support is available?
Currently the installers are available in many different
languages. The reader itself is currently available in English
and the graphic buttons should suffice. However in the next
upgrade the reader will include 11 popular languages to choose
from (independent of default computer settings).
How much does ASPS cost?
The ArtistScope Web Reader is a free download, however licensing
for the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) can be quoted
to suit your requirements.
