MP3 developer offers watermarking Digital Music - The Future

The Fraunhofer Institute IPSI in Darmstadt, Germany, developer of the MP3 format, has announced new watermarking technology. The technology includes a Watermark maker, which would be embedded in software used to generate digital files by copyright holders, and a watermark detector that identifies the watermark. The Institute has developed a software client that monitors the P2P networks. Watermarking has previously been proposed by the DCIA, a P2P industry association and examined [...] Read More


Digital Watermarking Alliance Digital Music - The Future

The Digital Watermarketing Alliance has formed with member companies Cinea, Digimarc, GCS Research, Jura, MediaGrid, Media Sciences International, Philips Electronics, Signum, Teletrax, Thomson, Verance, and Verimatrix.

Digital Watermarking and P2P Digital Music - The Future

The Distributed Computing Industry published a white paper, "Digital Watermarking Technologies - Applications in p2p networks." The paper outlines how digital watermarks can be used in P2P networks to provide benefits to all constituents: consumers, P2P system operators, Internet service providers (ISPs), and content owners. Digital watermarks are digital data elements that are embedded into, and read from, video, audio and still images. They allow digital content to be self-identifying or [...] Read More
