According to the digital revolution and the dramatically increasing number of TV channels on different satellites thus a massive content being broadcasted, a copyright and intellectual property infringement problem is occurring due to piracy and misuse of content, especially in developing countries. The abuse of content is leading to a significant money loss to content owners that may cause the collapse of the industry. The paper in hand proposes an architecture that assists content owners to proof and protect their intellectual property via using Digital Right Management System (DRM) that depends on Semantic technologies, as well as fulfilling the needs of TV channels such that they can reuse the content while respecting copyrights rules.
