TL;DR: In this paper, a reproducing apparatus senses copyright information included in the signal reproduced from a record medium to generate a copyright protection signal which is placed in a vertical blanking interval of the analog output of the reproducing device.
Abstract: A signal format and reproducing apparatus compatible with that format protect the copyright of recorded video and audio data against digital and analog dubbing. The reproducing apparatus senses copyright information included in the signal reproduced from a record medium to generate a copyright protection signal which is placed in a vertical blanking interval of the analog output of the reproducing apparatus. If a Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) signal is reproduced, it is supplied to a digital VCR (Video Cassette Recorder). The copyright protection signal disrupts the AGC (Automatic Grain Circuit) of a recording analog VCR and the SCMS signal prevents a digital VCR from digitally dubbing the reproduced video and audio data.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a solution to improve user's usability in addition to maintaining a copyright protection function by allowing data recorded in a first recording medium (MD) to be moved in a second recording medium according to the type of the recording medium and a data attribute.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve user's usability in addition to maintaining a copyright protection function. SOLUTION: Data recorded in a first recording medium(MD etc.) are allowed to be moved in a second recording medium (HDD) according to the type of the recording medium and a data attribute. That is, even if data of which second generation are prohibited to be copied digitally such as SCMS (serial copy management system) contents can be made check-in/check-out controlled being registered to a home server in an HDD. Conditions for permission of movement are: erasure of data is possible in the first recording medium; a move operation, not a copy operation can be performed; and the first recording is a medium adopting a technical standard of prohibiting the copying of SCMS or the like to the second generation.

Abstract: From the Publisher:
Sony has been one of the forerunners in the field of digital audio, being the coinventor of the compact disc system. This book has been produced using all the resources and expertise of the Sony Service Centre (Europe).
Digital Audio and Compact Disc technology is the best book at the price on CD players and technology. It is essential reading for audio engineers, students and hi-fi enthusiasts and offers a clear and easy to follow introduction to the subject. This latest edition now includes a technical description of DAT, the `Scoopman' (stamp size DAT format, MiniDisc and the Digital Compact Cassette format. It also covers the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) and the Digital Interface format (S/PDIF - IEC 958).
TL;DR: Standalone serial copy management system (SCMS) compliance with respect to distributing and receiving protected digital media is disclosed in this article, which uses technological measures that effectively control access to the copyright protected work, as described in 17 U.S.C. sections 1201, 1202 and 1001.
Abstract: Standalone serial copy management system (SCMS) compliance with respect to distributing and receiving protected digital media is disclosed. In general, when a digital media file is selected for transfer or reception between a computing system and another device, serial copy management system copy/playback information for the digital media file is accessed. If the serial copy management system copy/playback information comprises unrestricted copy/playback information the SCMS may utilize a common transfer pathway for the transfer or reception. However, if the serial copy management system copy/playback information comprises controlled copy/playback information the SCMS utilizes a new pathway distinct from said common transfer pathway for the transfer or reception of digital media, providing complete copyright protection from point of entry. In so doing, standalone SCMS compliance uses technological measures that effectively control access to the copyright protected work, as described in 17 U.S.C. sections 1201, 1202 and 1001.
