Digital Watermarking Technology to Track Music Piracy

February 14th 2006 | General

The Fraunhofer Institute has developed prototype technology to help curb the sharp rise in online music piracy, which ironically has been enabled through another invention of the renowned German research group: MP3 audio compression.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Integrated Publication and Information Systems Institute have successfully tested a software system, based on the group’s own digital watermarking technology, for tracking pirated audio files in P2P (peer-to-peer) filesharing networks, said Michael Kip, a spokesman for the institute.
