Abstract

The backbone of current digital content creation and distribution is cloud technology, which concomitantly raises emerging and complicated issues for copyright enforcement. Albeit the cloud allows scalable and global access to media, documents, creative assets, it also opens up the risk of unauthorized copying and redistribution of such content because of mis-configuration, loose control and the inherent openness of distributed systems. This chapter considers the cloud content lifecycle (namely ingestion, storage, delivery, and consumption) and provides analysis of the main threats that may compromise the intellectual property. Based on real-world case studies and examination of contemporary threats, the chapter presents the inadequacy of traditional Digital Right Management (DRM) in the cloud age and argues for the utilization of digital watermarking as an adjunct to provide forensic-grade rights enforcement, content tracking and tracing.
