Abstract

See full text

An application, media drive, and media are configured so as to cooperate with one another to provide secure access and copying of protected content on the media. The application cooperates with the media drive to identify the media as a cooperating component, and in the process, also identifies the media drive as a cooperating component. The media includes information facilitating such identifying activity, such as a fingerprint indicating the copy protection method used to protect the content. Also included on the media is a guard module that authenticates the application as a cooperating component, establishes secure channels respectively with the application and the media drive for communicating secret information, installs licenses included on the media, and only allows access to the protected content if the media is an original copy. The application then manages usage and/or copying of the protected content according to the installed licenses.
