A preference determination system allows a music provider, like a band or disc jockey, to determine the musical preferences of the members at a gathering. As many members of a gathering use electronic devices, like cellular telephones, that include music and video players, these devices include a corresponding play list that includes information about the music or video. When at a gathering the music provider, for example, interrogates the devices of the members of the group and uploads their respective play lists. The music provider then compiles information about the music into a data compilation. The information may include artist, song title, release date, genre, etc. The music provider then sorts the data compilation to select information that is popular to a significant number of members in the group. The music provider then selects and plays music to the group consistent with the selected information. For example, if 50 people are at a gathering, and 30 have digital music by the Tom Waits on their devices, the music provider may decide to play “Innocent When You Dream” for the group.

An online product distribution method provides copyright protection and enhanced control over user access to an online product through the use of a fingerprint combined with a double encryption method that provides two layers of protection against unauthorized access to a product prior to a release date. The double encryption is carried out by using two different keys, a first key which is a customer-specific key and a second key which is a failsafe key. The failsafe key is a protection against software errors or system misconfiguration resulting in the premature release of the keys necessary for decryption. A fingerprint containing a validation code can be used for an additional level of protection. The validation code can be dynamically allocated or predetermined. In one aspect, the validation codes are embedded into the data of the online product and can provide a fingerprint which traces the product as coming from a particular source.
