TextWord Press, Inc. 'Implications of Literature' Series Companion CD-ROM’s Protected with HexaLock Copy Protection Technology

Basking Ridge, NJ and Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) November 17, 2005

Hexalock, Ltd., a leader in CD copy protection technology and digital rights management solutions, announced today that TextWord Press, Inc., publisher of the Implications of Literature high school textbook anthology series, incorporating a breakthrough in literature/language arts integration, is protecting its companion CD-ROM’s from unauthorized copying and use with HexaLock Copy Protection Technology.

“Producing the series was a challenge!” General Editor Deborah Schechter says. "We had to pass several litmus tests along the way. In addition to reinforcing inherently high moral standards, we had to satisfy rigorous NYSTL [New York State Textbook Law] requirements. Furthermore, these 900-page volumes had to be attractively designed and prove engaging to teachers and students alike. Finally, they had to prepare students at an Advanced Placement performance level to compete for entry into the best colleges and universities in the country.” Ms. Schechter continued, “When we prepared the companion Testbank CD-ROMS for each level of the Implications of Literature series, we were very concerned about the possible unauthorized copying and use of our intellectual property. We have found HexaLock copy protection technology to be an ideal solution to our concerns.”

“We are pleased that TextWord Press has incorporated HexaLock CD-RX Copy Protection Solutions within its products,” said John Stevens, Vice President, Business Development, HexaLock. “The company joins a growing list of publishers, worldwide, who use HexaLock technology. Not only does it provide world-class copy protection, it is specifically designed to be easily integrated into publisher titles and provide a positive end-user experience. An original protected CD will open and play normally in any end-user computer. However, the user will find that the files cannot be downloaded to his, her, or any other computer's hard drive, or copied onto another CD-ROM disc. Individual tests can be printed and Xeroxed for classroom use only by the authorized purchaser.” Mr. Stevens continued, “ We often recommend that our Licensed Publishers add the phrase ‘this is a copy protected CD – do not copy’ to their CD label to inform users of this added protection.”
