BookID

[edit]

To counteract the uploading of unauthorized content, Scribd created BookID, an

automated copyright protection system that helps authors and publishers identify
unauthorized use of their works on Scribd.[74] This technology works by analyzing
documents for semantic data, metadata, images, and other elements and creates an
encoded "fingerprint" of the copyrighted work. [75]
