Only someone with this key can read or locate the mark. Keep it private and store it with your certificate. Use the same key for all your works if you like.
Use this on a copy you found online, a file a client sent back, or your own upload. Works on MP3/WAV re-encodes and on JPG re-saves, as long as the image was not resized or cropped.
Saved in this browser only. Save a backup of the list and keep it with your evidence packs.
Malaysia does not require registration. A musical, literary or artistic work, or a sound recording, is protected once it is original, written down or recorded, and made by a qualified person. Disputes turn on evidence: who made it, and when. Markora gives you three kinds of evidence at once.
Under the Berne Convention, a work protected in Malaysia is also protected in the other member countries without registering there. Several markets offer an optional record that helps in local disputes.
