Validate Copyright Compliance, Track Media Usage, Monetize User-Uploaded Content

Audible Magic offers the most cost effective and massively scalable approach for identifying and managing user-generated or other unknown media content, allowing providers to automate any of the following functions:

Easy-to-Integrate Turnkey Service

The CopySense® content identification service easily integrates into your own content management system or client application. The solution consists of a software API library, content identification and link services, and an information data service. Two software development kits (SDKs) are available: one for P2P providers and another for Web 2.0 providers and other OEM customers.

Sophisticated Content Identification

Patented CopySense identification techniques recognize media content based on digital “fingerprints” derived from the perceptual characteristics of the content itself. The approach is highly accurate and requires no dependence on metadata, watermarks or file hashes. Best of all the technology is highly immune to compression or distortion, and it is indifferent to codec, file type or streaming format. It’s the best approach for recognizing content “in the wild.” Integration of CopySense technology is made simple with an efficient and compact API library.

Flexible Hosted Services

The CopySense API library interacts with information subscription services hosted by Audible Magic. Audible Magic maintains content identification, copyright ownership and other customizable information including business application, categorization and usage rules. Utilize this information to manage copyright compliance and empower monetization linkages.

World Leadership Content Registry

At the core of Audible Magic’s information services is one of the largest media works registries of its type in the world. Music, video and software content owners continually register new works in Audible Magic’s database. The content identification and ownership information database now exceeds 6 million works and continues growing.
