Tracking data in accordance with an embodiment of the invention generally involves determining whether data supplied by an intermediary includes rights data, such as a watermark, that indicates ownership rights in the data. If the data supplied by the intermediary includes rights data, then a record is generated that indicates that the intermediary supplied data contains rights data. The intermediary may also record the source and destination of data passing through the intermediary. In addition, the intermediary may dynamically update rights data to indicate a source, destination or path of data passing through the intermediary. The intermediary may also generate statistical information about data passing through the intermediary. |
