Why is IP Management & Protection necessary and important for MPEG-4?
Without an adequate system to manage information about digital creations and to control their accessibility through content protection, IPR owners will be unwilling to allow their assets to be delivered through MPEG-4 applications. Giving the confidence to IPR owners, such as film producers and record companies, that they can make available their vast catalogues of valuable creative material securely across new digital markets is critical to ensure the commercial success of the MPEG-4 standard.
