Abstract

The Information Society around us today can manipulate (copy, transmit) all types of information easier than ever before. For most users, the bulk of the processed information is multimedia data (image, music, video, etc.). Several solutions for the intellectual right protection have been tried out. But most of them also restrict the very rights of authorised users. Watermarking proved itself to be a powerful, yet un-restraining solution to this problem. The content is protected by imperceptibly inserting some copyright and/or tracking data into the multimedia object, so that these data cannot be removed. Moreover, watermarking can also be used for preventing other types of abuse. While ignoring the related scientific and legal issues, this paper reports on the commercial and standardisation approaches to watermarking.
