Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system and method that allows for secure copying of digital content to a removable storage medium. The system includes a license scheme that is integrated with the copy, ensuring that the content is pre-authenticated and can be accessed without needing to access a network or other location. This technology provides a way to secure the transfer of digital data to external storage devices.

Problems solved by technology

One unique challenge, therefore, is creating thousands of disks, or more, that have “secure” music that is secured using the unique serial number on each disk for retail sale.
This is also a relevant issue with respect to the process used to create secure music disks for others to market.
Once the storage media is shipped with the already-stored data, though, such storage media is quite obviously out of the hands of the manufacturer / distributor, who is then powerless to prevent anyone from making changes to the stored data on the storage media.
Accordingly, it is oftentimes useful after shipment of the storage media to determine whether the data on the storage media has changed as compared with the originally shipped data.
Tying these issues together, there are many references to secure digital rights management, but none that specifically address the problems associated with the mass reproduction of authenticated secure digital music.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 587,509 and U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 588,149, relate to systems and methods in which data is copied from a master storage medium to copied-to storage media. The same techniques relating to master disk production and target disk copying may be applied to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, in producing a storage media 10 having data thereon based on a master 12, it is to be understood that four basic operations take place: (1) a master 12 of the data to be stored on the storage media is obtained from an appropriate source and is accessed through a master computer 14 having relatively secure master copying software thereon; (2) an image file is made from the contents of the master 12 by way of the master computer 14; (3) the image file is copied to the copied-to storage media 10 by way of a production computer 16; and (4) the image file is compared to the copied-to storage media 10 by way of a comparison computer 18. Each operation will b...

Abstract

A system and method are provided wherein digital data representing content and associated license rights may copied to a storage medium, such as a removable storage medium, whereby the serial number of the copied-to storage medium is integrated into the licensing scheme utilized to secure the digital content. As a result, the digital content is pre-authenticated and bound to the copied-to storage medium, obviating the need to access a network or other location for access to the protected content.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 6,920,565, issued Jul. 19, 2005, which is (1) a continuation of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 587,509, filed Jun. 5, 2000, now abandoned, which claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application No. 60 / 181,727, filed Feb. 2, 2000, and (2) a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 588,149, filed Jun. 5, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,718,446, both filed on Jun. 5, 2000.issued Jun. 6, 2004, which claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application No. 60 / 181,727, filed Feb. 2, 2000.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to a method and system for providing secure digital music duplication.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Digital Rights Management (DRM) has received a lot of attention as a result of the ease with which digital data can be re-distributed ad infinitum without corruption. DRM systems have thus attempted to implement method...
