The problem of piracy, illegal copying and use of intellectual products is no longer a stranger.
It happens every day, every hour, especially with products that are digital files in general, as well as multimedia files (text, images, audio, video) in particular.
This problem is really difficult to solve, and in order to solve it, we need to apply many different solutions simultaneously: such as technological solutions, propaganda to raise people’s awareness, perfect relevant law violations, …
And in this article, I will introduce to you a quite useful technology solution, which is to use Copy Protect software to protect multimedia files from unauthorized copying.
#first. What is Copy Protect?
Copy Protect is one of the very few or only (as of now) that allows us to copy multimedia files to USB, CD / DVD and protect them.
Files copied with Copy Protect can only be played in the original USB, CD/DVD.
You can still copy these files to other storage devices, but it certainly won’t work.
This is a quite effective solution, helping us to limit the problem of illegal copying, the problem of piracy is rampant today.
#2. Supported file formats
This software supports almost all popular media file formats today. For example, video formats (MP4, AVI, FLV, WMV..), audio formats (MP3, WAV, WMA..), image formats (JPG, PNG, GIF…) or formats text format (doc, xls, ppt…)
In case your file has an unsupported format, you can use format conversion software to convert it to the appropriate format. But I think the formats that this software supports are also relatively complete.
Suggest: Format Factory is one of the Software that supports converting multimedia formats used by many people, moreover it’s completely free.
#3. Supported Platforms

#6. Epilogue
Okey, a software that supports very good copyright protection for digital files, thereby limiting unauthorized copying of digital files that you can refer to.
All NewSoftwares software comes with a trial number or free period. Not with Copy Protect, instead, the product after copying and protecting will have a watermark reminding you to buy the copyright.
NewSoftwares As a long-standing software company, the company’s products are mainly data security software such as Folder Lock, Cloud Secure, USB Secure, USB Block, Folder Protect and Copy Protect..
I would like to repeat again that technology solutions, no matter how modern, cannot be absolute, the main thing is the consciousness of our users, we must know how to protect our data. Goodbye and see you in the next posts ha!
