ABSTRACT
Nowadays digital contents can be easily replicated and distributed without any loss of quality through the Internet and other portable storage devices. This has resulted in large-scale illegal replication and distribution of digital contents causing substantial loss to the content producers. Further, genuine customers may be unknowingly purchasing unauthorized or pirated digital contents available in the market. Thus, the overall trust in the digital content distribution has signicantly come down due to the illegal sharing, piracy, and distribution of digital contents.
