Abstract: Systems and methods have been developed for detecting the use of rights in media, for example, where the use is based on a content file's presentation on a network. Systems and methods have been developed for determining likely rights owners for content files. Systems and methods may detect and report such use to a purported owner of the rights. Systems and methods have also been developed for offering these rights owners structured, up-to-date online reviewing of the content files, takedown options with respect to the content files, and options to claim revenue generation related to the content files. These systems and methods may control the use of the content file on a network through charging royalties, distributing advertising revenues associated with the content file to the owner, attributing the content file to the owner, restricting access to the content file, using legal action, or through other techniques.
