Implementing CD Copyright Protection by Using TCPA Framework

The main objective of this research is to study the current issue of the copyright
protection behind the music and software industry. The study also propose a protecting
mechanism of commercial audio CDs and software in order to reduce the number of
unauthorized duplication of the CDs by consumer. Currently, the music and software
industry is facing the piracy problem. This issue is getting bigger from time to time.
Therefore, this research will be focusing on current copyright issue, preventing method
by using trusted computing framework, TCPA.
In developing the project, the research procedures being taken by the author are
observation where the author figures out the broad problem area ofthe research, followed
by preliminary data investigation and problem definition. The next phase is data
collection, analysis and interpretation, and also report writing. The last two phases are the
development phase and report and project presentation phase. Meanwhile, the author
discusses about findings gathered through out this research. The end product of this
research is the concept ofhow TCPA can be implemented in protecting the copyright of
the CDsand also the simulation demo authored in Java. The simulation will demonstrate
the action taken byCPU in handling CD.
