摘要:
In accordance with one or more aspects, a license for content is retrieved, the license having been previously embedded in the content. A requested action is allowed to be performed with the content only if a standalone license, or both a leaf license and a root license, indicate that the action with the content is permissible. Leaf licenses and/or standalone licenses can be embedded by a source of the content and/or by a target device that receives the content. Additionally, licenses can include one or more rules indicating where a target device that receives the content is to store the licenses.

Various embodiments described above can enable referral lists to be used in connection with distributed content to protect a referral infrastructure that is used with such content. In at least some embodiments, referral lists are protected using digital rights management (DRM) techniques. The DRM techniques can be used for a number of purposes including securely establishing a referring consumer, securely maintaining a chain of referring entities through distribution tracking, and maintaining control over the referral lists associated with distributed content. In at least some embodiments, DRM techniques are utilized to protect referral lists that are used in multi-level marketing networks.

Techniques enable seamless movement and consumption of licensed digital content amongst multiple devices. In some embodiments, these techniques allow establishment of a domain capable of having multiple member devices. Each member device of the domain typically comprises a content-consuming device such as a personal computer, a portable media player, or the like. These techniques enable a license associated with digital content to bind to a domain rather than an individual device. As such, each member device of the domain may contain a domain identity and, with the identity, may consume the content with use of the license and in accordance with policy described in the license. These tools may also enable a member device to join multiple domains and to contain an identification of each of these multiple domains.

Techniques enable creation of a preview license for digital content. In some instances, the preview license indicates that it allows a content-consuming device to consume less than all of the content. This preview license may create a list specifying multiple portions of the digital content that the content-consuming device may consume. These techniques may also present to a device user an offer to purchase rights to consume all of the digital content after consumption of the preview-licensed portion(s). In other instances, a content server may embed the preview license into a content package that contains the digital content, allowing the server to distribute the package to multiple devices. In still other instances, the preview license may be bound to a domain rather than to individual devices. This allows member devices to share the digital content and the preview license, such that each member device may enjoy the preview experience.

This document describes policies for digital rights management that enable distribution of full-function versions of applications that, while fully functional, have functions limited by an associated policy. A policy may be replaced or updated, thereby enabling use of previously limited functions without distribution of another version of the application.
摘要:
A method is provided for a computing device to copy (burn) a playlist of tracks to a portable medium, where each track corresponds to a piece of digital content. At least one of the pieces of content is rights-management (RM) protected and accordingly is burned to the portable medium only in accordance with a corresponding digital license.

Described herein are one or more implementations for transforming (e.g., transcoding) DRM-protected digital media content while retaining associated DRM-information (e.g., a user license its related information).
摘要:
A device renders content on a medium by obtaining a table from the medium, obtaining a device key (DK) of the device and an index value of such (DK), indexing into an entry of the table based on the obtained index value, selecting an encrypted secret from the indexed-into entry, applying the obtained device key (DK) to the selected encrypted secret to expose the secret, and applying the exposed secret to render the content.
