Illegal Song Cover

Illegal song covers, unauthorized reproductions of musical works, pose significant challenges for copyright protection in the digital age. Current research focuses on developing robust detection methods, employing techniques like lyric analysis and sophisticated deep learning models to identify cover versions, even those significantly altered from the original. A key area of investigation involves mitigating the threat of automated cover creation using singing voice conversion, with researchers exploring methods to introduce imperceptible perturbations that disrupt the process. These advancements aim to improve copyright enforcement and protect the rights of musicians and copyright holders in the increasingly complex landscape of online music.
