RepliCheck
RepliCheck® is a copyright identification service that helps reduce the risk of replicating pirated CD content. It quickly scans a CD for copyrighted music and software. Then it accurately identifies and reports the song title, performing artist, releasing label and copyright date for songs and the application name, version, publisher and date published for software. This information can then be cross-referenced against a customer’s license documentation. It can be incorporated early in the manufacturing cycle prior to any significant investment, which saves valuable time and reduces your exposure to expensive lawsuits.

Copyright is Everyone’s Responsibility
The governing bodies of the music and software industries are committed to defending artist and software publisher rights and are vigilant in tracking down replicators who engage in CD piracy. Ignorance of the copyright infringement is not an acceptable excuse in court. RepliCheck can help your company demonstrate commitment to copyright protection. The only safe way to verify the content being replicated is to identify each title on a CD and cross-reference it against the appropriate license documentation. But it is almost impossible for a human to have the knowledge base to identify the songs and software on every CD. In addition, it is time consuming and labor intensive, often holding up precious production time and equipment. RepliCheck eliminates the human processing time while providing a much more thorough copyright review.
Intelligent Music Identification
Audible Magic developed RepliCheck using its proprietary audio identification technology. Its patented content-based identification system quickly, accurately, and definitively identifies files simply by “fingerprinting” to them. It does not rely on watermarking or embedded data to identify the content, so there is no way to fool the technology.
Extensive Databases
AudibleMagic has partnered with major and independent music labels as well as other media companies to create one of the largest media databases in the world. It is composed of 6 million copyrighted works, including the entire catalogs of North American music labels and several independant labels as well as world music. In addition, Audible Magic’s extensive software database includes 10,000 titles from over 1,000 software publishers.
Startup is Easy
To get started, install a small software application on an Internet-enabled PC. The RepliCheck service accepts most of the popular DDP mastering formats, audio CDs, WAV and compressed MP3 files. The application generates compact fingerprints for each of the content files and sends them for lookup against the Audible Magic reference database. If a copyright match is found, RepliCheck reports detailed information on the song or software. This report can then be printed out or stored on the PC for your records. If you want to listen to a particular audio track, you can click on the title to hear it. You can also set up RepliCheck to run after hours or at any time you specify.
RepliCheck helps you automate your process and protect your business against copyright infringement. With over 6 million copyrighted songs and 10,000 software titles, it is the only comprehensive anti-piracy solution available.
