Abstract [English]

Laws have changed in response to technological advancements. In the digital sphere, unfair usage and unauthorized downloads of content protected by copyright give rise to serious issues. Watermark is one of the technological and legislative approaches that have been implemented to address these issues. The process of identifying the owner of a piece of data by embedding a watermark.It monitors how digital media is used and detects any unauthorized access or use. Data can be incorporated as text, audio, video, or image in watermarking. Because of the speed at which technology is developing watermarks are required to protect copyright. It is necessary to take into account the watermark's efficacy and incorporate specific changes into the current legal framework.
Digital watermarking is a new concept as technology is rapidly growing. So watermarks should be robust enough against the transforms.
