The references to the paper are interesting too.

suggests 

    "Using copy detection systems that enable content owners to easily identify 
    potentially infringing copies reduces the risk that unauthorized copying and 
    distribution of copyrighted works will go unnoticed. This means that the 
    intellectual property holders will no longer need to use preventive 
    technologies such as DRMs that can potentially prevent all uses of works in 
    order to prevent deterioration of revenues due to unauthorized uses. Thus, 
    having a powerful copy and derivative work detection system can help shift the 
    focus of the current copyright debate from protecting copies of works to 
    protecting the rewards to authors. 

    "Based on the analysis of the stakeholder interests and the involved technology 
    options, we conclude that protecting revenues rather than copies can open new 
    doors into the copyright problem and provide an alternative solution, which 
    should have been on the table all along"
