Copyrights and licensing
A guide to copyrights and licensing.
Disc Makers is committed to protecting your intellectual property ?
your music, film, software, presentations, and any other copyrighted
material. That's why we participate in the International Recording
Media Association's (IRMA) Anti-Piracy Compliance Program, which
protects copyright owners from unauthorized reproduction of their
property. We actively help protect your property rights of the owners
of any third-party material you use on your project.
While intellectual property rights procedures can sometimes be
time-consuming, they are a necessary safeguard to protect the rights
of everyone involved in creating material for music CDs, DVDs, and
CD-ROMs. Every legitimate disc manufacturer will require you to prove
ownership of all copyrighted material before your discs can be
replicated.
We know that obtaining copyrights and licenses can be confusing, so
we've put together these steps to help guide you through the process.
Trying to protect copyrights on DVD
Macrovision and Digimarc will combine software products to provide a
copyright protection package for digital materials.
One of several categories of intellectual property increasingly
subject to copyright infringement, digital materials such as movies
and interactive entertainment are increasingly subject to bootlegging
because of emerging high-capacity storage technologies like digital
versatile discs (DVDs). In response, both market-driven and
governmental solutions are coming to the fore.
Macrovision and Digimarc plan to license copyright technology to
rights holders while also working with electronics and computer
manufacturers. Their software package relies on digital watermarks,
stamps hidden between pixels so as to remain all but invisibile in
finished products. The watermarks provide copyright information and in
tandem with play control technology, enable or block playback,
viewing, or copying onto another digital recording device.
Macrovision has developed widely used play control technology, while
Digimarc has patented watermarking technology. According to Digimarc,
the watermarks can withstand being transformed from digital to analog
format and back, or from one digital format to another.
No industry standard for a recordable digital format has yet emerged.
Pricing information was not available. Macrovision and Digimarc said
in a prepared statement that the software package was created in
response to a call for proposals from the Copy Protection Technical
Working Group.
The licensor of DVD Format/Logo or design is the DVD Format/Logo

Motion pictures are audiovisual works consisting of a series of
related images that, when shown in succession, impart an impression of
motion, together with any accompanying sounds. They are typically
embodied in film, videotape, or videodisk.
Copyright in a motion picture is automatically secured when the work
is created and ?fixed? in a copy. Only the expression (camera work,
dialogue, sounds, etc.) fixed in a motion picture is protectible under
copyright. Copyright does not cover the idea or concept behind the
work or any characters portrayed in the work.
Works that do not constitute a fixation of a motion picture include:
a live telecast that is not fixed in a copy
a screenplay or treatment of a future motion picture
