1. A product that determines an identification of media content comprising the steps of:
- a first set of instructions for directing a processing unit to;
receive a fingerprint of a work generated from media content of said work, determine an identity of said work from said fingerprint responsive to receiving said fingerprint, and generate a report including said identity of said work responsive to a determination of said identity; and
a media readable by said processing unit that stores said instructions.

Abstract
A method and system for identifying a work in a data transfer. In accordance with this invention, a data transfer is received. The media content of a work is then read from the data transfer. The media content is then used to generate a fingerprint of the work. The fingerprint is then used to identify the work. A report including the identity of the work is then generated.
