Audible Magic Content Registration

Protecting Creative Works

Audible Magic provides registration services to owners of music. Registering your creative works in Audible Magic’s database will reduce chances for your works to be pirated over P2P networks or volume duplicated to media like CDs.

Audible Magic’s patented media fingerprinting process provides the means to identify registered works. You supply copies of your audio content along with ownership and release information. Then your works will be fingerprinted and registered in Audible Magic’s rapidly growing database. Audible Magic’s database provides the basis for multiple anti-piracy services.

Our customers include individual producers of media content, major and independent music industry labels, artist rights groups, royalty tracking organizations, new artist discovery organizations and disc replication companies worldwide. In the music industry, Audible Magic maintains one of the world’s largest databases of electronic fingerprints and copyright owner information, representing over 6 million sound recordings.

Benefits of Content Registration

Anti-Piracy

RepliCheck® is an anti-piracy information service used by CD/DVD manufacturers worldwide and formally recognized by the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the International Replication Media Association (IRMA). Once your works have been registered in Audible Magic’s database, a manufacturer can verify whether someone requesting a disc replication job actually owns the rights to those works. Each month, the system prevents thousands of works from being unknowingly reproduced by legitimate replicators.

The CopySense® Network Appliance is a device deployed on computer networks to control Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file trading. Educational institutions, Internet service providers (ISPs), government entities and businesses worldwide have installed the CopySense Appliance on their networks. The appliance offers a feature that prevents registered works from being traded while allowing non-registered files to pass through. This allows network managers to do their part to prevent illegal copying without suppressing legitimate P2P uses.
