Authenticate content and objects to confirm they are genuine, unaltered and from an authorized source. Monitor broadcasts and Internet distribution of television programming in geographical markets or over the Internet for market research and rights management. Identify and manage content by giving it a persistent digital identity that can be used to easily locate, filter and track it, and determine where it leaves its authorized distribution path. Deter counterfeiting and piracy by facilitating content copyright communication, filtering and forensic tracking, and by providing controls over the recording, playback or copying of content.
