Numly, the Web 2.0 copyright service, has just surpassed 6,000 registered digital works from over 1,600 auhtors and artists. Nearly 500 of these registrations are copyrighted under Creative Commons. The rest of the registrations are traditional All rights reserved.
Numly assigns Numly Numbers (Electronic Serial Numbers / ESNs) for all things digital. These unique identifiers provide digital rights management capabilities as well as third-party, non-repudiation measures for proof of copyright via real-time verifications. Numly Numbers are simple to generate and act as an electronic timestamp. They also allow you to track who is viewing your content and when it is accessed, monitor ratings, and can be used as permalinks!

Create an ESN per Digital Copy
Numly Numbers can be used for more than just copyright proof and verification. They can also be used as digital identifiers of copies of a digital work such as a licensed copy of an e-book or presentation or song. Even better, each Numly Number assigned to a copy of a digital work can identify the owner of the copy of work and the type of copyright license assigned to the digital copy of work.
You can think of Numly Numbers as next generation ISBN numbers. Rather than assigning an ISBN to your digital work where each copy has the same ISBN number, try assigning a Numly Number to each copy of your digital work sold or distributed. This will give you tracking capabilities of your works and licenses as well as a vehicle for allowing your customers to trade or sell their copies of works through a digital community.
Numly's Docly.com service provides this type of numeration service for self-publishers automatically. Each published work submitted through Docly is automatically assigned a Numly Number. Every digital work that is purchased also automatically generates another unique Numly Number with the licensee information associated with the Docly account that purchased the copy of digital work. Cool huh?
Numly APIs are available that allow third-party applications to request Numly Numbers dynamically. This means that as the customer requests a download of a digital work a Numly Number can be request and assigned to the customer and embedded in the digital work for tracking purposes. This could be conceived as Good DRM.
