Abstract: A method and system for identifying a work in a data transfer. In accordance with this invention, a data transfer is received. The media content of a work is then read from the data transfer. The media content is then used to generate a fingerprint of the work. The fingerprint is then used to identify the work. A report including the identity of the work is then generated.

Abstract: A cache promotion system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system may comprise at least one analysis module for receiving a work from a plurality of sources and generating a corresponding representation thereof; at least one First Tier identification (ID) server for identifying received works; and at least one Second Tier ID server for identifying repeating received works. Multi-tiered system are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for detecting against unauthorized transmission of digital works comprises the steps of maintaining a registry of information permitting identification of digital copyrighted works, monitoring a network for transmission of at least one packet-based digital signal, extracting at least one feature from the at least one digital signal, comparing the extracted at least one feature with registry information and applying business rules based on the comparison result.

Abstract: A new media identification system is disclosed. In one aspect, a system may comprise at least one analysis module for receiving and analyzing an received work and generating a corresponding representation thereof; at least one identification (ID) server for receiving the representation from the at least one analysis module and generating a list of unidentifiable received works. A method for identifying new media is also disclosed. In one aspect, a method may comprise receiving an unidentified segment; determining whether the unidentified segment is similar to previously received unidentified segments; and sequentially arranging similar unidentified segments in a single super segment.
