Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for network-based purchase and distribution of media. SOLUTION: The purchase and distribution of media by the method and system are not only secure but also controlled. The security restricts access to media within media files during downloads as well as while stored at a server and/or client. Upon purchasing a media item, the content for the media item can be downloaded over the network to the purchaser. The content for the media item is then encrypted for the purchaser's use and stored on the purchaser's machine. Thereafter, the purchaser can make use of the media item (e.g., play the media item). Improved graphical user interfaces suitable for reviewing, browsing, previewing and/or purchasing numerous media items are also disclosed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Abstract translation: 要解决的问题：提供一种基于网络购买和分发媒体的方法和系统。 解决方案：通过方法和系统购买和分发媒体不仅安全而且受到控制。 该安全性限制了在下载期间以及在存储在服务器和/或客户端的情况下对媒体文件中的媒体的访问。 在购买媒体项目时，媒体项目的内容可以通过网络下载到购买者。 然后，媒体项目的内容被加密以供购买者使用并存储在购买者的机器上。 此后，购买者可以利用媒体项目（例如，播放媒体项目）。 还公开了适于审查，浏览，预览和/或购买许多媒体项目的改进的图形用户界面。 版权所有（C）2009，JPO＆INPIT

Abstract: A method and system for network-based distribution of content are disclosed. The distribution of content is not only secure but also controlled. The security restricts access to content within media files during downloads as well as while stored at a server or client. In one embodiment, each media file is encrypted with a different, randomly generated key. The control over the distribution of the media file can serve to limit the subsequent distribution of media files from clients to other clients. In another embodiment, the control can permit media files to be shared on a limited number of different clients affiliated with the same user. The clients can vary with application but generally are computing devices that have memory storage. Often, the clients are personal computers or other computing devices that are capable of storing and presenting content to their users
