  Serial Copy Management System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Serial Copy Management System or SCMS was created in response to the digital audio tape (DAT) invention, in order to prevent DAT recorders from making second-generation or serial copies.
If the source has the copy bits set as 11, every copy of this material will have the bits set to 10 and the copy from the copy would be prohibited.
The copy protection would look for the presence of frequencies in a particular high-frequency band; if there was no audio present in this band, the recorder would assume that the music in question was copy protected, and would not allow recording of the music.

 Digital rights management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beyond the existing legal restrictions which copyright law imposes on the owner of the physical copy of a work, most DRM schemes can and do enforce additional restrictions at the sole discretion of the media distributor (which may or may not be the same entity as the copyright holder).
Or, for another example, a legally obtained copy of a DVD might be blocked or crippled because it is being used on equipment which doesn't include the DRM function permitting access to it, or which if included, doesn't interoperate correctly.
DRM systems currently employed are not time limited in this way, and although it would be possible to create such a system (under compulsory escrow agreements, for example), there is currently no mechanism to remove the copy control systems embedded into works once they enter the public domain, after the term of copyright expires.

 SCMS - Serial Copy Management System
Serial Copy Management System, is a method used to prevent unlimited cloning of DATs.
A copy protection system used in consumer type digital audio equipment that prevents second generation digitak copying by setting a copyright flag that is present in the digital signal.
This means you can make as many digital copies of your original DAT tapes as you like, but you cannot digitally make copies of any of those copies.

 IEEE-USA Position On "Copy Control Systems"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
We are particularly concerned about the effects of any copy control technology that might be mandated by the government, or that might be imposed by industry without taking adequate care to protect the rights of users and consumers.
Additionally, IEEE-USA believes that copy protection must not be allowed to limit or eliminate reverse engineering of computer programs and interfaces, and time-shifting of television programs, both found lawful by the courts, to extend protection to works not protected by copyright, or to limit fair-use rights.
Copy protection should not be used to force consumers to purchase new, or to repair, maintain, or upgrade, computers or players to continue their past lawful uses of the Internet.

 The role of copy protection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It is the goal of copy protection to encode a certain pattern of use onto the media used to transmit content.
Copy protection throws up a flag to the personal copier—it is difficult to acquire the necessary knowledge and equipment to circumvent copyright protection without becoming aware of the questionable legality of the act.
Copy protection appears as a lock on recordings people have purchased; though they own a copy of the recording (not the work itself) they are limited in the ways they may enjoy the work.

 Serial Copy Management System
The SCMS status of an original is indicated by a copy bit which is present on an original CD and is placed on a recording at a frequency of 75 frames per second.
For an original which has itself been copied from a copyright-protected original, the copy bit is toggled every 5 frames between ‘on’ and ‘off’ (high and low states).
A copy is recorded with copy bit that toggles every 5 frames between ‘on’ and ‘off’ (high and low states).

 EXTINCTION OF THE DIGITAL LOCK PICKER?
The Audio Home Recording Act requires a serial copy management system in all digital audio recording devices and digital audio interface devices imported, manufactured or distributed in the United States.
Such a system allows unlimited first generation digital copying of sound recordings, but prevents the making of digital copies from copies.
The proposed prohibitions are potentially very broad in scope and application, whereas the prohibition of disabling a specific device (a serial copy management system), which is only found in digital sound duplicating devices, is extremely narrow and well-defined.

Plaintiffs have based their argument about serial copying on the fact that the memory upgrade of the Rio (although not the basic memory itself) is removable.
A "digital audio copied recording" is "a reproduction in a digital recording format of a digital musical recording, whether that reproduction is made directly from another digital musical recording or indirectly from a transmission." See 17 U.S.C. § 1001(1).
The definition of a "digital audio copied recording" is complementary, with two parts, because a recording function is complementary, with input and output.

 Digital Law Online: Protection Through Technology
This would also avoid messy questions like whether a copy would be permitted as a fair use or not since, if such a technology-based mechanism could work properly, anything permitted by the copy control mechanism would be permissible, and anything not permissible would be blocked by the copy control mechanism.
A rights management system is essentially an electronic notice that the work is protected by copyright.
It would be simple to indicate that any rights management information is a “notice of copyright appearing on a copy of a copyrighted work.” The penalties for removing such a notice could be expanded to better match the penalties for criminal copyright infringement.

First, all digital recording devices must incorporate something called the "Serial Copy Management System." This is a special chip that allows for the making of a first-generation copy of a digitally recorded work, but places a special signal on any copies that tells the chip not to make any further copies.
Third, since royalties are being paid by the manufacturers or importers of the new recording devices and media, the copyright owners agreed to forever waive the right to sue consumers for copyright infringement using audio recording devices in their homes.
The federal court refused to grant an injunction, on the ground that the Rio was not a recording device; while it could store one copy of MP3 files, it had no capability for making additional copies.

BACKGROUND: The Audio Home Recording Act of 1992: As originally developed, digital audio recorders permitted consumers to make an unlimited number of copies, and copies of copies, of pre-recorded digital recordings that would be virtually indistinguishable from the commercial originals.
Serial Copy Management System: The SCMS is a mechanism embodied on a computer chip that is installed in digital audio recorders.
The SCMS is designed to prevent the digital audio recorder from making any additional copies of a digital recording, such as a CD or pre-recorded digital audio tape, except for "first generation" copies.

 Europe4DRM, Offline DRM, Copy Protection
One of the earliest protection systems to be widely used on digital media was DVD regional coding.
The system relies on a coding recognition system built into DVD players, which are sold on a regional basis.
While DVD regional coding is a comparatively primitive protection system, the benefit it provided has encouraged film producers and manufacturers to continue to work closely together on copy protection, which has resulted in a standard protection system for DVDs, called Content Scramble System (CSS), developed by the DVD Copy Control Association.

Nearly all DVDs, since 1997, are protected from copying by using an encryption system called CSS (Contents Scramble System), which only allows for films to be viewed on players and computer drives equipped with licensed technology that permits the devices to decrypt and play (but not to copy) the films.
Consequently, is the copy-protection system in itself harmful to both copyright law and the First Amendment right? Judge Kaplan, in the district court, recognised that technological control measures present a legal paradox.
The district court acknowledged that copying for fair use would be curtailed but dodged the query by stating that there were different types of fair uses within different types of communities, and that the question of constitutionality could not really be decided in bloc, without consideration of the circumstances of each user.

First, digital copying devices must be equipped with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS), which prevents unlimited serial copying of copyrighted material.
Even though the DMCA prevents the making of digital copies, it does not prevent one from making a copy of a protected audio disc by using the analog outputs of the CD player, or even by holding a microphone in front of one's speakers.
For example, if one were to copy a book in its entirety and give the copy to a friend as a gift, one would most likely have committed an act of infringement.

The Japanese system of paying a compensation fee for private recording that has been imposed on the recording media has many loopholes.

 Netlitigation |Submit | MP3 |
The AHRA does three key things: (a) requires that device manufacturers include technological limitations on a device's ability to make serial copies (known as a "serial copy management system"); (b) provides for a royalty from every sale of a device; and (c) insulates device manufacturers from liability for contributory copyright infringement.
In October 1998, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) brought suit against Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc., the manufacturer of the Rio device described above, claiming that the device was covered by the AHRA and thus required a serial-copy management system and the payment of royalties.
However, it went on to conclude that incorporating a "serial copy management system" in the Rio would make little sense, because the device did not permit "downstream" copying in the first place.

We intend our actions today to send a clear message that the RIAA will act swiftly and decisively against any devices that unlawfully interfere with copyright protection systems.
Particularly as more and more music is digitalized, it is essential that the recording industry ensure that copyright systems are in place and not tampered with in order to safeguard copyrighted sound recordings from what otherwise could be massive illegal copying."
