Why DRM Cannot Protect Copyrights  ---  Workshop on Digital Rights Management 22-23 January 2001         Running Universal Monitoring Internet today are script-driven, dynamical web pages. It is most important that the monitoring engine processes all web techniques so that all content if proofed of someones legal ownership. The monitoring splits the data into streams of image, audio and other data. E.g. images are reduced to pattern vectors and stored in connection with their locations into a pattern database. The owners sample vector is counterchecked against the patterns in the database thereby enabling the reverse detection of the object usage and distribution.
