Introduction
Objectives of the presentation.
Summarize technological solutions for copyright protection and management, which are proposed, implemented and applied to cultural applications, European projects, etc.
Collect recommendations, key points and limitations of these technological solutions.
IPR and IST
IPR protection and management is an issue that is gradually becoming critical:
Advances in technology have improved the ability to reproduce, distribute, manage and publish information.
The information structure has been integrated into everyday life, affecting directly, amongst others, the IPR legislation.
Lack of awareness of both content holders and content users is observed.
Technological Solutions Overview
Proposals and Practices across MS are mainly focusing on:
How to provide access without giving up control.
A complete technological schema includes:
Technical Protection Means (TPM).
A TPM is a technology that supports users, content owners and organizations to secure and protect digital content (text, image, video, sound, graphics) from unauthorized use. The definition implies the traceability of an improper use.
Digital Rights Management Systems (DRMS).
Systems which are supporting the management of rights of digital content for providers and users including time and usage based business models.
Technical Protection Means
The TPM used by practices and projects amongst MS are summarized bellow:
Security and integrity features of computer operating systems (include, for example, the traditional file access privileges enforced by the system).
Encryption, allows digital works to be scrambled so that they can be unscrambled by legitimate users only.
Persistent encryption, allows the consumer to use information while the system maintains it in an encrypted form.
Data hiding (watermarking), embeds information (e.g., about ownership) into a digital work. A digital watermark can help owners track copying and distribution of digital works.
Special – Purpose Devices (e.g. DVD protection).
