This book provides a layout and description of the options available to multimedia copyright owners for the protection of their works from unauthorized use. The utility and potential weakness of various antipiracy techniques and applications are discussed, including adult image filtering, encryption, watermarking, fingerprinting, and authentication among others. The book also provides discussion of various issues of interest to copyright owners regarding the parameters and limitations of applying Digital Rights Management techniques within intellectual property law.

In reference to my project, the plaintiff and defendant in the Viacom v. YouTube case represent two sides of an ongoing tug-of-war over legal rights to make use of copyrighted content. These two opposing sides are copyright owners and fair use claimants. The book addresses this topic.--"Although copyright literally means 'right to copy,' the term isnow used to cover a number of exclusive rights granted to the authors for the protection of their work...There are, however, limitations on these rights as established in several sections of the 1976 Copyright Act. One important limitation, the doctrine of 'fair use,' has been the subject of a major discussion oncontent protection" (6)
