The development of the LCP DRM was initially a request from the founders of the Lab, i.e. Because it is easy to integrate in a reading app, thanks to the open-source software developed by EDRLab, a library that is seamlessly added to the Readium SDK.įor more information, please read the FAQ.Because it is easy to integrate in a publishing solution, thanks to the open-source multi-platform DRM server developed by EDRLab.This decentralized architecture also brings more robustness to the overall solution.

Because it does not leak personal data: the encryption tool and the license server are deployed by the license provider no third party will gain access to user data, usage statistics or unencrypted ebook content.DRMs which block screen readers from accessing content will not be marketable anymore in Europe from 2025. Because it does not hurt accessibility: the EU Accessibility act requires all distributors of digital publications to offer accessible services to end users and DRM is part of such services.Because it is great for library lending: Readium LCP allows for loan extension and advanced return of a loaned ebook.Because it is cost effective: EDRLab is a non-profit organisation and has adopted a simple cost recovery model for Readium LCP.Because there is no cost per transaction: the only cost for license providers is a yearly fee associated with the certification of their solution.Because it is a vendor-neutral solution: the publishing industry is directly leading the operation of this DRM via EDRLab.Because it is interoperable by design any publishing company can become an LCP license provider, any technical organisation can develop an LCP compliant reading app.
