A Place for Software Developers to Learn about Software Licensing and Software Copy Protection

September 29, 2009 – Palo Alto, CA – Nalpeiron, the world's leading Hosted Software Licensing and Software Copy Protection platform, today introduced www.softwarelicensing.tv – a website dedicated to covering "both sides" of the software license management industry. The website covers news, views and reports about the consequences of software piracy along with the industry of developing and using software copy protection and licensing technology.

"The developers and users of software license management are totally underserved by current reporting and related website resources – this new website is step forward in bringing useful, detailed and unbiased information on the topic of Software License Management to the market," said Jon Gillespie-Brown, founder and CEO of Nalpeiron, and publisher of www.softwarelicensing.tv. "The tone of this new site will be objective – we are encouraging the participation of various thought-leaders in our category to collectively provide a balanced and useful commentary that our visitors will appreciate."

Software developers and publishers looking for the views, news, challenges and results of using software licensing technology will be able to get much more useful and detailed information than ever before. The site includes videos, podcasts and articles that cover the core questions that application developers ask every day, but find little useful content on the Internet to help them make tough decisions about how to protect their software.

The website will include a section entitled ISV Viewpoints, which will include podcasts and videos with CxO-level executives within software developers and their experiences choosing, using and living with licensing technologies. Softwarelicensing.tv will also include featured articles from other industry players with the latest on what they are doing to control their IP and combat piracy. Another section called Vendor Updates keeps readers up to date with the latest technology in the market. Finally, a detailed knowledgebase of articles and FAQs about the industry will be presented, along with the latest software licensing and piracy news from around the world.

Being able to listen to and review what their peers are doing and how that has affected their businesses will be invaluable in educating and informing CTOs and CEOs of software businesses worldwide.

The press tend to present a limited viewpoint when it comes to reporting about DRM and related technologies, mostly reporting the complaints of users about the restrictions, rather than discussing the important needs of the software community that is weathering the financial problems on top of rampant piracy.

"It's time for more detailed reporting and discussion on our niche so the industry can make better and more informed decisions about software licensing. This website is an inventive step toward that goal," said Mr. Gillespie-Brown. "We are happy to contribute to a useful dialogue about our industry, and we hope this inspires a spirit of openness and collaboration that will ultimately benefit the entire industry."

About Nalpeiron

Nalpeiron makes it easy and affordable to build licensing capabilities into Windows and Mac software. We do this by giving developers a straight-forward licensing software development kit (SDK) which connects to a web-based licensing "server farm." Developers add a few snippets of code to their application, include a Nalpeiron "licensing .DLL" with their product, and ship their product. The result is software that is licensed and protected the way you need it to be. Unlike all the other software licensing providers, Nalpeiron provides this as an on-demand web service, with low up-front costs and a pay-as-you-go licensing model.
