Abstract: An image data illegal use prevention system
includes an image data fetching unit (6) for fetching
digital image data in which electronic watermark data
may be embedded, and an electronic watermark data
detection unit (8) for detecting electronic watermark
data from the image data fetched by the image data
fetching unit (6). If electronic watermark data are
detected by the electronic watermark data detection unit
(8), then an image data recording unit (7) does not
record the image data fetched by the image data fetching
unit (6) onto a recording medium (9), thereby preventing
illegal duplication. The electronic watermark data are
calculated, for example, in accordance with an
expression determined in advance for frequency
components of discrete cosine transformed digital image
data.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for
recording data in an optical recording medium which can record data in a
write-once type optical recording medium at a high linear recording
velocity using a laser beam having a low recording power. 
     The method for recording data in an optical recording medium
according to the present invention is constituted so that when data are to
be recorded in an optical recording medium including a substrate, a first
recording layer and a second recording layer by projecting a laser beam
whose power is modulated in accordance with a pulse train pattern
including pulses whose levels are set to levels corresponding to a recording
power  Pw  and a bottom power  Pb  onto the optical recording medium and
forming a recording mark at a predetermined region of the first recording
layer and the second recording layer, as a linear recording velocity
increases, the power of the laser beam is modulated using a pulse train
pattern including a smaller number of pulses whose level is set to a level to
the recording power  Pw , thereby forming a recording mark. 
     According to the present invention, since the power of a laser beam
is modulated using a pulse train pattern including a smaller number of
pulses whose level is set to a level to the recording power  Pw  as a linear
recording velocity increases, it is possible to record data in an optical
recording medium using a laser beam having a low recording power even
when a linear recording velocity is high and on the other hand, it is
possible to prevent cross-talk of data from increasing even when a linear
recording velocity is low. Therefore, it is possible to employ a
semiconductor laser having a relatively low output even when data are
recorded at a high linear recording velocity.
