Abstract
A method and apparatus in which original digital content is input. First copyright information on the input original content is acquired and if a user is authorized to alter the original content, image processing and/or audio processing is performed on the content, either in a predetermined manner or as directed by the user, to generate secondary content. Thereafter, both the first copyright information for the original content and second copyright information for the secondary content are associated with or imprinted into the secondary content. The secondary content is then registered in a database in such a manner that the secondary content is associated with the original content.
