System Overview:

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a DRM (i.e., digital rights management) process 10 that is resident on and executed by personal media device 12. As will be discussed below in greater detail, DRM process 10 allows a user (e.g., user 14) of personal media device 12 to manage media content resident on personal media device 12. Personal media device 12 typically receives media content 16 from media distribution system 18.

[0042] As will be discussed below in greater detail, examples of the format of the media content 16 received from media distribution system 18 may include: purchased downloads received from media distribution system 18 (i.e., media content licensed to e.g., user 14 for use in perpetuity); subscription downloads received from media distribution system 18 (i.e., media content licensed to e.g., user 14 for use while a valid subscription exists with media distribution system 18); and media content streamed from media distribution system 18, for...

Abstract

A method, computer program product and computing device for generating a first user profile associated with a first user of a media distribution system. The first user profile being stored on a first personal media device associated with the first user. The first user profile including at least a user identifier for identifying the first user within the media distribution system. Communication is established with a second personal media device associated with a second user of the media distribution system. The first user profile is transmitted to the second personal media device.
