ARIS Technology

I thought this information maybe of interest to those on this list.

The Internet has been viewed by many as an uncontrolled frontier, where music and other programming usage often goes undetected, depriving creators and content owners their rightful royalties and copyright controls. MusiCode helps tame this frontier and, in the process, supports the conversion of the Internet into a legitimate cyber-marketplace. For example, Nordic Entertainment, a pioneer in electronic music distribution via direct digital downloads, will use MusiCode watermarks to embed recipient and transaction information in songs sold via it's Downloadable Music Site, serving as a powerful deterrent to unlawful distribution and incriminating those who engage in this practice. MusiCode also is giving Internet monitoring organizations, such as Intersect, Inc., the means to quickly and accurately identify MusiCode encoded music being used on the web.

Cambridge, Mass. based ARIS Technologies is an industry leader in watermarking technologies focusing on the varied copyright protection, royalty distribution, marketing, market research and product distribution needs of the music and media industries. Led by veterans of the music, media, and technology industries, ARIS serves these industries' needs across the entire content usage and delivery spectrum, from physical media and broadcast systems to the Internet.
