San Francisco - ByteShield, a provider of anti-piracy and digital rights management technologies, announced this week that it has raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding, from Gylling Invest AB and other angel investors.

San Francisco-based ByteShield's technology "removes small but critical pieces of the code it protects and then replaces them at run-time. A cracker may find and 'fix' one piece in a certain amount of time, but if 1,000, 10,000 or even 100,000 pieces of code need to be 'fixed', one by one, then the effort required is too great," the company said.

ByteShield customers include PC game publishers, such as GamersGate.

The company will use the funds to accelerate development and to expand sales and marketing efforts.
