Digimarc Guardian Watermarking embeds unique, imperceptible and traceable digital watermarks into e-books, enabling distributors and publishers to track where their content is appearing online and identify sources of leakage. HarperCollins Publishers uses Digimarc Guardian Watermarking to protect its US e-book catalog, distributed globally.
The cloud-based Digimarc Guardian platform offers easy-to-integrate API support for most e-book formats, including EPUB, PDF and MOBI. For each transaction, the platform generates a unique, traceable digital watermark and embeds it throughout the e-book. It–s extremely difficult for pirates to locate and remove these imperceptible digital identifiers.
Digimarc–s anti-piracy service then crawls the web 24×7 searching for watermarked content. When a watermark is detected, Digimarc provides the unique identifier to the publisher to match against its own transaction records. By stopping and identifying leaks in their digital supply chain that result in piracy, publishers can ensure authors are being properly compensated for their work.
