BARCELONA, Spain -
StandardPay, which specializes in offering
payment solutions to European adult merchants, has announced
it has formed a partnership with licensed Microsoft Windows
Media digital-rights management service and solution provider
MediaKey. Both companies have fully integrated
their respective applications, allowing webmasters to sell
DRM-protected content and accept secure payments from a
global audience, according to a press release.
"We are very pleased to count StandardPay among our
world-leading billing partners," said MediaKey Chief
Executive Officer Leon Standly. "We strive to offer
competitive and innovative solutions, and the integration
with StandardPay will greatly benefit current and future
European clients. Last time I checked, it was pretty
difficult to obtain a high-risk merchant account, but
StandardPay goes the extra mile and will help clients obtain
a complete online multi-currency payment solution, including
an Internet Merchant Account."
MediaKey DRM-solution helps prevent piracy of digital media.
MediaKey’s DRM system allows consumers to obtain
digital-media licenses legitimately and more easily, while at
the same time protecting the rights of content owners.
MediaKey supports a variety of billing models, such as
rental, download-to-own, and pay-per-view billing.
"StandardPay and MediaKey have a shared view on the
importance of fighting fraud," added Standly. "That’s one of
the reasons why MediaKey’s DRM solutions and secure payment
systems are a great liaison. We may fight fraud using
different technologies, but at the end of the day, our
combined services have been designed to help webmasters make
money and secure their revenue streams."
