Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing the detection of displays or performances of copyrighted creative works, determining whether a license exists for those performances, and taking further action depending upon the results of that determination. The systems, methods, and apparatuses may include using a mobile device to capture occurrences of multimedia data as well as information relating to the location of those occurrences, and transmitting representations of those occurrences and information to a server computer. The server computer may identify the copyrighted work associated with the multimedia data, determine if a license for performance of that work exists, determine a price for its performance/display, and generate and then send an invoice for the performance of the copyrighted work.
