Digital Audio Watermarking: A Survey

Counterfeiting and piracy of the intellectual property such as patents, copyrights, etc. is known to be a serious problem worldwide though it is more intense in some regions owing to the usage. Presently, millions of digital audio data is being copied over networks resulting into the loss of revenue to music industries at a big scale. Right owners and creators have been looking forward to find out ways to inhibit this process that ultimately prompted the research in digital watermarking to enable copyright protection in order to prevent illegal acts of forgery and pirate distribution of data. In this paper, we have surveyed the various existing methodologies of digital audio watermarking for preserving the copyright laws and highlighting the related issues.
