Since the introduction of BitTorrent protocol in 2001, everything can be downloaded through file sharing, including music, movies and software. As a result, the copyright holder suffers from illegal sharing of copyright content. In order to solve this problem, countries have enacted illegal share related law; and internet service providers block pirate sites. However, illegal sites such as pirate bay easily reopen the site by changing the domain name. Thus, we propose a technique to easily detect pirate sites that are reopened. This automated technique collects the domain names using the google search engine, and measures similarity using Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) algorithm by comparing the tag structure of the source web page and reopened web page. For evaluation, we colledted 2,383 domains from google search. Experimental results indicated detection of a total of 44 pirate sites for collected domains when applying LCS algorithm. In addition, this technique detected 23 pirate sites for 805 domains when applied to foreign pirate sites. This experiment facilitated easy detection of the reopened pirate sites using an automated detection system.

The Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) file format is a typical format for dynamic music that can be used not only for playing, but also for supporting dynamic music activity, such as musical instrument practice. However, almost all of the existing MIDI applications focus only on the playing features. In this paper, therefore, we implement a MIDI file play application that supports various dynamic features such as part-play repeating certain sections that the user wants, tone and speed control while playing a MIDI file, downloading MIDI files from a server, and lastly Digital Rights Management (DRM). By supporting these features, we are confident that our MIDI application will help users who wish to practice musical instruments to do so conveniently, while effectively protecting the copyright of their purchased MIDI files.

Due to the development of video sharing platforms, the amount of video uploads is exploding. Such videos often include various types of music, among which cover songs are included. In order to protect the copyright of music, an algorithm to find the original song of the cover song is essential. However, it is not easy to find the original song because the cover song is a modification of the composition, speed and overall structure of the original song. So far, there is no known effective algorithm for searching the original song of the cover song. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for searching the original song of the cover song using the inflection points of the melody line. Inflection points represent the characteristic points of change in the melody sequence. The proposed algorithm compares the original song and the cover song using the sequence of inflection points for the representative phrase of the original song. Since the characteristics of the representative phrase are used, even if the cover song is a song made by modifying the overall composition of the song, the algorithm's search performance is excellent. Also, since the proposed algorithm uses only the features of the inflection point sequence, the memory usage is very low. The efficiency of the algorithm was verified through performance evaluation.

Dance, as an art which expresses thoughts and emotions by movement human, is included in work that its copyright has to be protected, choreographers who are creators and dancers who are performing can exercise their rights included in copyright laws. However, artists who work in the dancing scene have lack of awareness about copyrights and the application level is low. The purpose of this thesis is to look into the current status and issues about dance copyright and to discuss activation plans and effectiveness plans for dance copyrights. The main point is to check into the level of awareness for dance copyrights with choreographers, dancers and students majoring in dance who are in charge of the art of dancing, to present issues about the necessity of the dance copyrights protection plans by analyzing interviews-in-depth and to prepare the dance copyrights protection plans which are concretely realistic. For the research methods, first, I looked into ideas and contents about copyrights through a document research and then, wanted to prepare theoretical background by reviewing actual cases of performing art copyrights related to dance. Next, I carried out surveys about awareness of copyrights with students majoring in dance, choreographers and dancers then carried out analysis of actual proof. Also, I chose three famous dancers who are actively performing in the current dancing scene and did interviews-in-depth about dance copyrights then carried out a recording analysis. I tried to complement the analysis by discussing deeper which I couldn't deal with in the previous surveys and to contemplate awareness activation of dance copyrights and plans. As a result of the research, the level of the awareness about dance copyrights through age, major, education and career was very low. The level of awareness was almost same compared to the previous research 10 years ago. 'Music', which can be an element of copyright issue in dance, was the highest in rate, and dance was recognized as an art which is combined with various elements as a combination work. The way of protection for works of choreography and performance only used data preservation and contracts and didn't register copyrights or record in dace notation. Majority of responders answered that they couldn't have any education about copyrights while they were recognizing the necessity of education and management for copyrights. The analysis of interviews-in-depth was also matched to the result of the previous surveys and a deeper discussion about the status of dance copyrights and issues was carried out. The plans of effectiveness for dance copyrights through the result of previous research are as followings. First, an advanced education is necessary above all to increase the awareness and application of copyrights in dancing scene. Long-term education like study curriculums and short-term education like special courses and seminars should be combined, and education about copyrights for dance groups, choreographers, dancers and students majoring in dance should keep on going. Second, revision of performing art works is necessary for the activation of dance copyrights, and establishing a dance copyright association to manage copyrights systematically and training dance copyright experts are necessary as well. Third, as the way of copyright protection for choreographers and dancers, an establishment for relation gain and loss about copyrights is necessary when creating dance works and performing, and registration of dance works should be activated. Also, the dancing scene should sign contracts for choreography and performance and this contract culture should be activated, and it should systematically preserve and manage choreography and performance records through basic ways. Hereby, it is considered to prepare a foundation to foster the awareness of dance copyrights and activate dance copyrights.

EBooks refer to electronic versions of books which are accessible via internet with forms of digital texts. In recent years, Amazon's Kindle digital eBooks has revealed the possibilities of success of the e-book market, which leads other companies to launch eBook service such as Google's eBook stores and Apple's iPad and eBook service. These reveal that the eBook market is finally showing a substantial amount of growth. Although the issue of technical support of eBook copyright protection emerges from the fast growing eBook marketplace, current technic of commercial DRM for protecting eBook copyright protection still has problems of non-comparability. Therefore, with the current technical status, DRM comparability problems, which have already occurred in music DRM environment, would also happen in eBook environment. This study suggests a standard framework to support eBook DRM comparability. When development of the standard reference software for eBook DRM comparability is completed, the sources will be registered as shareware to be open to public.

With widespread use of the Internet and improvements in streaming media and compression technology, digital music, video, and image can be distributed instantaneously across the Internet to end-users. However, most conventional Digital Right Management are often not secure and not fast enough to process the vast amount of data generated by the multimedia applications to meet the real-time constraints. The SVC offers temporal, spatial, and SNR scalability to varying network bandwidth and different application needs. Meanwhile, for many multimedia services, security is an important component to restrict unauthorized content access and distribution. This suggests the need for new cryptography system implementations that can operate at SVC. In this paper, we propose a new scrambling encryption for reserving the characteristic of scalability in MPEG4-SVC. In the base layer, the proposed algorithm is applied and performed the selective scambling. And it encrypts various MVS and intra-mode scrambling in the enhancement layer. In the decryption, it decrypts each encrypted layers by using another encrypted keys. Throughout the experimental results, the proposed algorithms have low complexity in encryption and the robustness of communication errors.
