Technical treatments of image contents on the web include the copy protection method such as the image capture protection technology and the traitor tracing method to detect unauthorized duplications through watermarking insertion or feature information technology. However, these two methods have their own weaknesses. The image capture protection method is unable to protect illegal captures when the URLs of image sources are exposed. The traitor tracing method is fundamentally unable to protect illegal captures due to its post-treatment method. Besides, the weakness of using the copyright information display technology involves easy removal of copyright information from copyrighted contents. This paper suggests a model of the web image contents protection system which makes it hard to separate copyright information from web image contents and allows image contents to be shown only in the authorized websites.

Needs for copyright protection of multimedia content are getting increased because of the internet growth. In this paper, a new technology which protects the content copyright to provide different content services by user level using the digital watermarking technology was proposed. The service can be provided by two layers of a paid user and a free user. By the proposed method, the paid user can use the high quality content and the free user only can use the low quality content. The digital watermarking technology was used to hide information to be able to improve the content quality.

With the development of internet technology, a lot of content is produced, and the demand for it is increasing. Accordingly, the number of contents in circulation is increasing, while the number of distributing illegal copies that infringe on copyright is also increasing. The Korea Copyright Protection Agency operates a illegal content obstruction program based on substring matching, and it is difficult to accurately search because a large number of noises are inserted to bypass this. Recently, researches using natural language processing and AI deep learning technologies to remove noise and various blockchain technologies for copyright protection are being studied, but there are limitations. In this paper, noise is removed from data collected online, and keyword-based illegal copies are searched. In addition, the same heavy uploader is estimated through profiling analysis for heavy uploaders. In the future, it is expected that copyright damage will be minimized if the illegal copy search technology and blocking and response technology are combined based on the results of profiling analysis for heavy uploaders.

The digital domain has witnessed unprecedented growth, reshaping the way we interact, work, and even perceive reality. The internet has evolved into a vast ecosystem of interconnected virtual worlds, giving birth to the concept of the Metaverse. The Metaverse, often envisioned as a collective virtual shared space, is created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and interactive digital spaces. Within this Metaverse space, the concept of ownership, identity, and authenticity takes on new dimensions, necessitating innovative solutions to safeguard individual rights. The digital transformation through Metaverse has also brought forth challenges, especially in copyright protection. As the lines between the virtual and physical blur, the traditional notions of ownership and rights are being tested. The Metaverse, with its multitude of user-generated content, poses unique challenges. The primary objective of this research is multifaceted. Firstly, there's a pressing need to understand the strategies employed by non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces within the Metaverse to strengthen security and prevent copyright violations. As these platforms become centers for digital transactions, ensuring the authenticity and security of each trade becomes paramount. Secondly, the study aims to delve deep into the foundational technologies underpinning NFTs, from the workings of blockchain to the mechanics of smart contracts, to understand how they collectively ensure copyright protection. Thus, in this paper, we propose a quantum based NFT solution that can secure Metaverse and copyright contents in an advanced manner.

Currently the copyright law and the online digital contents industry development law aim to protect the producers of databases and digital contents. A report on databases in the United States describes that an additional protection of databases is needed as databases get more significant in terms of science and economy and become a key factor on Internet. At this moment, Korea does not recognize the importance of databases of science and technology when we look into any public or civil organizations. Accordingly this paper deals in depth with overall issues surrounding the regal protection of science and technology databases, key contents for science and technology databases protection by current laws, and additional protection problems. Considering that the industry of science and technology databases plays a pivotal role in the securement of national competitiveness, the preparation of legal measures to properly protect databases as one of the policies for the continuing development of databases should not be overlooked.

In this paper, we propose a copyright protection scheme for real-time streaming of HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) based realistic content. Previous research uses encryption and modular operation for copyright pre-protection and copyright post-protection, which causes delays in ultra high resolution video. The proposed scheme maximizes parallelism by using thread pool based DRM(Digital Rights Management) packaging with only HEVC's CABAC(Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding) codec and GPU based high-speed bit operation(XOR), thus enabling real-time copyright protection. As a result of comparing this scheme with previous research at three resolutions, PSNR showed an average of 8 times higher performance, and the process speed showed an average of 18 times difference. In addition, as a result of comparing the robustness of the forensic mark, the filter and noise attack, which showed the largest and smallest difference, with a 27-fold difference in recompression attacks, showed an 8-fold difference.

Digital content industry is growing rapidly because of the property of high-speed networking and greater demand for digital fulltext-image. However, we know the fact that it is many difficulty in production and supply for good quality of content. Hereupon, we suggest digital fulltext-image service framework to protect copyright. More concretely, we propose integrated model and reference model to securely serve digital fulltext-image by recompositing core objects and reconstructing the value-chain structure of digital content industry to framework including the process(from its production (creators or copyrighters) to consumption (users or consumers)). Also, we construct the digital fulltext- image service system based on reference model and reconstruct its interface that occurs between core subjects.

Computational creativity is a field of artificial intelligence research to replicate creativity of human beings, creating works in various fields or helping human authors. The copyright of works produced by computational creativity has not been established in most countries yet, however, there will be the need for systems to protect the copyrights with the development of the technology in the future. In this paper, we propose a copyright protection system based on blockchain technology that protects the copyright of various contributors contributing to the creation of computer creative creativity, and transparently and safely records the contribution of copyrighted works. The proposed system records the contribution of all related works from the machine learning of computer creativity to the creation of the final work on the blockchain so that it is possible to establish quantitative evaluation criteria for the copyright when the future copyright law system is revised.

In this paper, we design and implement watermarking system which create, insert and detect watermark comprised of number or logo to protect copyright and to prevent illegal plagiarism through inserting copyrighting information of owner into the original image. In the proposed system, the number or logo as watermark is selectively inserted according to characteristics of the original contents or requirement of copyrighter. The system also has convenient user interface which general administrator who hasn't expert knowledge for the protection of copyright uses easily. Ownership and copyright protection using digital watermarking technology intensifies creating volition of clients who want to create contents such as cultural contents, Thus, we can expect increasing requests for creating contents such as cultural contents.
