Readings on Copyright and Cryptography

For Wed, 8 Nov, please take a look at the following web sites:

A Macworld article on copyright and digital watermarking of images
Sample digital watermarks from Digimarc (a vendor, not endorsed by the university, whatever)
A MacWeek news article on Genuine Music and digital watermarking
Optional: An audio watermark demo from Signum Technologies (another vendor, yada yada). I have not tried this software! Use all the usual precautions for downloading software. (Practice safe software!)
Copyright Basics, from the U.S. Copyright Office
The Digital Millenium Copyright Act, as summarized by the U.S. Copyright Office
The Digital Future Coalition
The DMCA web page of the Digital Future Coalition
New York Times articles on copyright, especially this one on the DeCSS case
What is DeCSS?

Added on Tuesday:

The Secure Digial Music Initiative web site
The Hack SDMI public challenge
As usual, a dissenting opinion (From the EFF). There are several good articles linked from this page.
A Princeton team may have met the challenge

I also recommend this page of New York Times articles on technology, including many things we have covered in class!
