ContentGuard Company Description
ContentGuard plays watch dog to digital content rights. Spun off of Xerox in 2000, the company licenses digital rights management (DRM) technologies originally developed at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center. ContentGuard's technology is meant to protect all sorts of digital content, such as audio, video, text, games, software, personal financial data, and business information. The DRM technology is especially attractive to Hollywood and media companies trying to defend copyrighted material from being copied and distributed on the Internet without legal permission.
