PlayApp.com will be demonstrating their protected software, known as PlayApps, in the form of book, music, and video PlayApps. Their protected software can also be in the form of business, games, streaming, etc. PlayApps. Although the initial PlayApps being developed by PlayApp.com will only run on Windows (Win32) computers, they can easily be developed for other current and future operating systems and computers as well.

Artists and their publishing companies will appreciate the strong dynamic USKey protection process put into PlayApps, because it makes it impossible to create a single utility to crack all of them since all PlayApps will have their own unique software execution locks. Artists will also appreciate the ability to make their PlayApps as media rich and interactive as possible at anytime, without being burdened by lengthy industry standards committees normally required for flat files. Since PlayApps are programs, artists developing PlayApps can choose among the best technologies available to put into them, be it MPEG-1/MPEG-2/QuickTime/etc. video, MP3/RA/WM/etc. audio, and GIF/JPEG/PNG/etc. pictures. In addition to selling PlayApps over the Internet, brick & mortar stores and mail order companies will also be able to sell PlayApps since Internet connectivity is not required for PlayApps to be distributed and run.

Consumers will be drawn to PlayApps since they can now download their favorite books, music, and videos in the form of rich interactive PlayApps, from anywhere in the world at anytime by way of the Internet. The easy to use plug and play protection in PlayApps will also be appreciated since no longer would consumers need to run various complicated lock/unlock programs to move thousands of their protected media from one computer or hard drive to another. Consumers also won't have to worry about purchasing their digital books, music, video, etc. on various storage mediums, i.e. records, cassettes, CDs, DVDs, etc. since no special medium will be required for PlayApps.
