A utility, typically in the form of a software application, allows an author to record digital media, generate and associate and/or embed unique copyright data with the media, store the media and copyright data locally and remotely, and receive an electronic receipt containing the generated unique copyright data, providing verifiable copyright protection for original works of authorship. Typically, the software application can generate copyright information during the creation of the media. This copyright information can include, for example, a generated unique copyright identifier, author's information such as name and address, device identifier provided by the device as available, device type, and the like. Embodiments of the present invention enhances the author's ability to record media such as video and images by ensuring a verifiable and unique copyright identifier is included with the digital content. |
