CNET reports: “Preview Systems, one of the original companies offering anti-piracy protections for
online digital products, on Tuesday said it would cut 25 percent of its staff and explore
new “strategic” options that could include selling part or all of the company.

Citing growing competition from large companies, Chief Executive Vincent Pluvinage said in a
conference call that circumstances have forced Preview Systems to look for a bigger home for
its products. The company is in negotiations toward that end, he added.”
