Protection in DRM and pricing strategies for digital products considering quality degradation

<p><big>In this paper, we develop a model in which a monopolistic firm manufactures and sells a digital product, by incorporating digital rights management (DRM), quality degradation of pirated products, and government copyright enforcement into the consumer’s utility function. We determine the monopolist’s optimal pricing strategies and the appropriate DRM protection level through mathematical deduction. Our results show that when the government copyright enforcement is moderate and the quality of pirated products is relatively high, implementing a DRM system is optimal for the monopolist. However, in most other cases, DRM-free is better for the monopolist. This result may explain why DRM is not very popular in some industries. Our results suggest that choosing the right price, focusing on content innovation, and weakening DRM protection may be a better strategy for firms now. The results also indicate that DRM-free may be more prominent in the digital music industry than in the software and video games industries.</big></p>

Value Flow in Music Content Production: A Case Study

While the music industry significantly values music content production, it has also triggered disputes regarding copyrights and the attribution of interests within the same context. The value flow for the pre-digitalization and digitalization periods were compared before collecting typical work data from studio stakeholders involved in the content production of an original song. In this case study, the developing value flow was established from the perspectives of the content production team, which satisfied the scarcity of the commercial music production model. The findings indicated that individuals in the digital music industry value chain (MIVC) receive a bidirectional value flow, which represents its sustainability. The closed loop in the music business has been speculated to be the potential reason for internal frictions, which manifest as copyright conflict. The discussion proposes solutions for a healthier market, which may contribute to the higher quality production of musicians.

Applications of Game Theory and Advanced Machine Learning Methods for Adaptive Cyberdefense Strategies in the Digital Music Industry.

As the likelihood and impact of cyber-attacks continue to grow, organizations realize the need to invest in specialized methods to protect their digital data and the information they circulate or manage. Due to its broad use, game theory has evolved into a concept that can be applied practically while analyzing and modifying existing cyber protection methods to arrive at the best possible conclusions. This study presents an innovative hybrid model that combines game theory and advanced machine learning methods for adaptive cyber defense strategies. Specifically, a repetitive game methodology is implemented to analyze cyber-attacks and model behaviors and study how defenders and attackers make decisions in a competing field. Based on Bayesian inference, the proposed method can predict the next steps in the game to produce the appropriate countermeasures and implement the best cyber defense strategies that govern an organization. The suggested system introduced to the academic literature for the first time was successfully tested in a particular application scenario involving the digital music industry and coping with impending cyber-attacks.

Digital Music Recommendation Technology for Music Teaching Based on Deep Learning

With the rapid development of music streaming media service industry, users can easily hear any song on mobile devices. Internet has become a huge music storage platform. With the development of network and large-scale digital music industry, the acquisition and listening of music are presented to users in a more convenient way. How to find the music loved by users from the massive Internet digital music data has become the key problem and main goal to be solved in the field of music information retrieval. Personalized music recommendation system can accurately find and push songs that users may be interested in from tens of millions of huge music libraries according to users’ information under the condition that users only have vague demand for listening to songs. Relying on the traditional search method to find the music that you are interested in can no longer meet the needs of users, so the current music recommendation system needs to dig out the music that has no clear needs in the long tail to help people find their favorite songs.

Cyberattacks Defense in Digital Music Streaming Platforms by Mobile Distributed Machine Learning.

Given the massive popularity of digital music industry repositories and their corresponding targeting by cybercriminals, this paper presents an intelligent model for cyberattacks defense in digital music streaming platforms by mobile distributed machine learning. The basic idea of machine learning is to use large data sets to create a model that responds well to inputs it has never processed before. With the increase in data volume and complexity of models, it becomes increasingly challenging to complete machine learning processes in a single machine. Distributed ML was developed to solve this problem, and a standard procedure is completed through the collaboration of multiple servers. With the evolution of mobile devices and the increase in their number, it is possible to create an integrated and compact mobile distributed machine learning (MDML) system that could reduce the workload of servers. A distributed logit polynomial function model is proposed, which is used to model options in distributed binary regression accounting units, which are of low complexity and high stability in noisy environments.

Challenge in China's Digital Music Industry: How the Protection of Music Copyright Causes Oligopoly

Abstract Along with the rapid growth of China's music industry, laws and policies that protect music copyrights are also gradually improving. However, the distribution of copyrights among major music platforms is uneven. Music copyrights have become an effective implement for the major music companies in China to eliminate players in the market and create barriers to the industry. This paper analyses the cause of the uneven distribution of music copyrights among music platforms, discusses how this situation leads to an oligopoly that affects the consumers and music producers, and indicates some possible solutions.

TrustSAMP: Securing Streaming Music Against Multivector Attacks on ARM Platform

Streaming music has dominated the digital music industry in recent years, which allows users to enjoy a huge music library online with a low subscription price. Terminal-side audio DRM (Digital Right Management) is very critical for streaming music industry, compromising of which will cause unrestricted listening, dumping and unauthorized secondary distribution. However, existing DRM protection schemes mainly focus on defeating software attacks but lack complete shielding against the physical memory disclosure attacks, which may even be launched by the owner of the terminal device. In this paper, we propose a terminal-side audio DRM solution called TrustSAMP to protect the copyrighted audio data against both software attacks and physical memory disclosure attacks. The basic idea is to process the audio data plaintext only in certain on-SoC components secured by ARM TrustZone. To minimize the TCB (Trusted Computing Base) of the secure world, we separate the control flow and the data flow of the Linux audio subsystem and port only the codes used for audio data decryption and plaintext transfer into the secure world. Moreover, we leave most driver codes of the audio-associated on-SoC components in the rich OS (i.e., in the normal world), and introduce a tiny proxy in the secure world to control the associated registers according to the requests from the normal-world drivers. The prototype implemented on real hardware shows that TrustSAMP can play a variety of wav-format audio with very small overhead and negligible loss of audio quality.

Ekonomi Politik Media Dalam Industri Musik Digital Spotify

Since the emergence of internet media, digital music was born which then marked as a change in the dominance of conventional recorded music. It is slowly and surely replacing the roles of conventional media, starting from the production process, distribution, to the level of music consumption. One of the most prominent music streaming platforms today is Spotify. In practice, the music streaming platform Spotify acts as a cultural industry that seeks to obscure people's real needs. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method based on a critical paradigm. With the aim of analyzing power relations in cultural practices that have been built by the digital music industry, either through the media or by the owners of capital through the perspective of the political economy of communication media. There are 2 main findings as a result of the study. First, there are 5 forms of digital music standardization that emerged because of the Spotify platform. Second, there are 2 forms of culture created from the relationship and identity of digital music actors, namely, the trend of soloist musicians or music by do it yourself, and bargaining power between musicians and music labels. In the end, Spotify is the party who benefits the most because it acts as a mediator who provides services or services for digital music streaming providers.
