SecureChannel: Your Online Marketing Manager
|
 The
core of Blue Spike's Trusted Transaction Server architecture
is the use of the SecureChannel as a value-added component to
new media formats. SecureChannel is an auxiliary channel through
which all of the members of the production and distribution
chain can communicate with individual consumers.
The architecture of the Trusted Transaction Server ensures that
only the consumer holding the appropriate account key will be
able to access SecureChannel goodies. This reinforces compliance
with copyright by delivering added-value experiences to those
who keep their part of "fair use" and "first
sale doctrine" bargains and keep their authorized copies
to themselves. The content the bargain and keep their authorized
copies to themselves. The content SecureChannel carries will
be the inducement for consumers to use a system that gives them
entirely new ways to enjoy their music in trade for removing
their ability to redistribute music at will.
What can be packed into the SecureChannel?

The
progeny of the Napsters of the world cannot all be sued out
of existence. The white market will, at some point, have to
provide a better, easier and more engaging alternative. Imagine
the power and utility of media objects like songs that are animated,
through watermarking, to provide new services, new opportunities
and an entirely new level of interactivity through SecureChannel
technology.
In comparison, black-market offerings would appear as exciting
as a Pong game to a 17-year-old Quake junkie. Yeah, right, it's
free. So? With Blue Spike's SecureChannel watermarking system,
the content itself becomes a persistent and recursive marketing
instrument that directs the consumer to other new online experiences,
products and services at your Web site. After its purchase,
a song used to have no further economic value. Now it can be
a marketing partner, full-time and forever at the service of
your company.
