Overview of the Impact of the Introduction of the Copyright Act 2020 on Digital Publishing

In November 2020,the third amendment of the Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China was completed and officially implemented in June 2021,which is undoubtedly of great significance to Chinese citizens with a growing awareness of copyright.This has also triggered our thinking about the impact of Copyright Law on digital copyright.Through the analysis of the cases after the amendment of the Copyright Law,we find that to a certain extent,the Copyright Law has played a great role in the protection of digital copyright,but it is still unable to achieve comprehensive protection,and there are still some imperfections.From this point of view,the simple legal protection of digital copyright cannot be taken into account.It still needs to be combined with technical protection means,cooperate with social conditions,and work together to create a harmonious and healthy online publishing environment and promote the protection of digital copyright.

New Fragile Watermarking Technique to Identify Inserted Video Objects Using H.264 and Color Features

The transmission of video content over a network raises various issues relating to copyright authenticity,ethics,legality,and privacy.The protection of copyrighted video content is a significant issue in the video industry,and it is essential to find effective solutions to prevent tampering and modification of digital video content during its transmission through digital media.However,there are stillmany unresolved challenges.This paper aims to address those challenges by proposing a new technique for detectingmoving objects in digital videos,which can help prove the credibility of video content by detecting any fake objects inserted by hackers.The proposed technique involves using two methods,the H.264 and the extraction color features methods,to embed and extract watermarks in video frames.The study tested the performance of the system against various attacks and found it to be robust.The evaluation was done using different metrics such as Peak-Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR),Mean Squared Error(MSE),Structural Similarity Index Measure(SSIM),Bit Correction Ratio(BCR),and Normalized Correlation.The accuracy of identifying moving objects was high,ranging from 96.3%to 98.7%.The system was also able to embed a fragile watermark with a success rate of over 93.65%and had an average capacity of hiding of 78.67.The reconstructed video frames had high quality with a PSNR of at least 65.45 dB and SSIMof over 0.97,making them imperceptible to the human eye.The system also had an acceptable average time difference(T=1.227/s)compared with other state-of-the-art methods.

A Dual Model Watermarking Framework for Copyright Protection in Image Processing Networks

Image processing networks have gained great success in many fields,and thus the issue of copyright protection for image processing networks hasbecome a focus of attention. Model watermarking techniques are widely usedin model copyright protection, but there are two challenges: (1) designinguniversal trigger sample watermarking for different network models is stilla challenge;(2) existing methods of copyright protection based on trigger swatermarking are difficult to resist forgery attacks. In this work, we propose adual model watermarking framework for copyright protection in image processingnetworks. The trigger sample watermark is embedded in the trainingprocess of the model, which can effectively verify the model copyright. And wedesign a common method for generating trigger sample watermarks based ongenerative adversarial networks, adaptively generating trigger sample watermarksaccording to different models. The spatial watermark is embedded intothe model output. When an attacker steals model copyright using a forgedtrigger sample watermark, which can be correctly extracted to distinguishbetween the piratical and the protected model. The experiments show that theproposed framework has good performance in different image segmentationnetworks of UNET, UNET++, and FCN (fully convolutional network), andeffectively resists forgery attacks.

MBE:A Music Copyright Depository Framework Incorporating Blockchain and Edge Computing

Audio copyright is a crucial issue in the music industry,as it protects the rights and interests of creators and distributors.This paper studies the current situation of digital music copyright certification and proposes a music copyright certification framework based on“blockchain+edge computing mode,”abbreviated as MBE,by integrating edge computing into the Hyperledger Fabric system.MBE framework compresses and splits the audio into small chunks,performs Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)to extract the peak points of each frequency and combines them to obtain unique audio fingerprint information.After being confirmed by various nodes on the Fabric alliance chain,audio fingerprint information and copyright owner information are recorded on the chain and broadcast to all participants.Blockchain technology’s characteristics of being tamper-proof and traceable not only reform the trust mechanism of copyright protection but also endow edge computing with the ability to resist tampering and single-point attack,greatly enhancing the robustness of the music copyright certification system.Meanwhile,edge computing mode improves Fabric blockchain’s processing speed and transaction throughput.Experimental results show that MBE’s performance is better than traditional systems regarding efficiency,storage demand and security.Compared to the traditional Fabric system without edge computing mode,MBE exhibits a 53%higher deposition efficiency and a 48%lower storage space requirement.

文化经济学为什么对著作权置之不理?

本文主张应该将著作权政策视作文化政策不可或缺的一部分;文化经济学家对补贴在文化政策中的意义给予了很多的关注和讨论,但是对于著作权问题却很少提及。尽管如此,由于在文化政策以及艺术工作者的劳动力市场方面具有独到的阐释力,文化经济学可以被用于分析著作权问题并证明著作权是创意产业中激发创造力的一个有效因素。本文将文化补贴和著作权均视为政策工具,将两者进行对比并初步探讨了当前的文化政策中与著作权密切相关的两个问题,即著作权中介协会的规范管理以及目前流行的"版权补偿金"之说,认为这类问题是文化经济学者有能力也有义务解决的问题。

Novel copyright protection scheme for digital content

A novel copyright protection scheme for digital content is presented, which is a private watermarking scheme based on the watermark embedding in the DCT domain and watermark extraction Using independent component analysis （ICA）. The system includes the key for watermark extraction and the host image. The algorithm splits the original image into blocks and classifies these blocks based on visual masking, that is, noise visibility function （NVF）. Watermark components with different strength are inserted into chosen direct current components of DCT coefficients according to the classifier. The watermark extraction is based on the characteristic of the statistic independence of the host image, watermark and key. Principle component analysis （PCA） whitening process and FastICA techniques are introduced to ensure a blind watermark extraction without requiring the original image. Experirnental results show the proposed technique is robust under attacks such as image filtering and adding noise, cropping and resizing. In addition, the proposed private watermarking system can be improved to the application of the DTV content protection system.

Chaos-Based Multipurpose Image Watermarking Algorithm

To achieve the goal of image content authentication and copyright protection simultaneously, this paper presents a novel image dual watermarking method based on chaotic map. Firstly, the host image was split into many nonoverlapping small blocks, and the block-wise discrete cosine transform （DCT） is computed. Secondly, the robust watermarks, shuffled by the chaotic sequences, are embedded in the DC coefficients of blocks to achieve the goal of copyright protection. The semi-fragile watermarks, generated by chaotic map, are embedded in the AC coefficients of blocks to obtain the aim of image authentication. Both of them can be extracted without the original image. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm in terms of robustness and fragility.

A Weighted Algorithm for Watermarking Relational Databases

A weighted algorithm for watermarking relational databases for copyright protection is presented. The possibility of watermarking an attribute is assigned according to its weight decided by the owner of the database. A one-way hash function and a secret key known only to the owner of the data are used to select tuples and bits to mark. By assigning high weight to significant attributes, the scheme ensures that important attributes take more chance to be marked than less important ones. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is robust against various forms of attacks, and has perfect immunity to subset attack.

A Visual Cryptography Based Digital Image Copyright Protection

A method for creating digital image copyright protection is proposed in this paper. The proposed method in this paper is based on visual cryptography defined by Noor and Shamir. The proposed method is working on selection of random pixels from the original digital image instead of specific selection of pixels. The new method proposed does not require that the watermark pattern to be embedded in to the original digital image. Instead of that, verification information is generated which will be used to verify the ownership of the image. This leaves the marked image equal to the original image. The method is based on the relationship between randomly selected pixels and their 8-neighbors’ pixels. This relationship keeps the marked image coherent against diverse attacks even if the most significant bits of randomly selected pixels have been changed by attacker as we will see later in this paper. Experimental results show the proposed method can recover the watermark pattern from the marked image even if major changes are made to the original digital image.

Transparent System for Digital Media Copyright Protection in Mobile Business

At present, in mobile business, the secure environment in the terminal of users has not been embedded, many cryptology-based methods can not be directly used to protect the copyright of digital media. Under this situation, a transparent system based on watermark for digital right management and digital copyright protection is proposed in this paper. The transparent system is called WDRM （watermark-based digital rights management） and transparent to users. Its core is WDRM Agent. In this paper, system inner model and procession are designed in detail at first, including the registration, the downloading, the super distribution, and the cooperation. Because the watermark embedding and the extraction algorithms are the kernel in this architecture, we also discuss how to choose and design the algorithms. Then we establish a package for all algorithms in WDRM Agent.
