Abstract

Techniques for obtaining digital objects (such as songs or video clips) from information providers in data communication networks (such as the Internet) are disclosed. The digital objects are sent through channels (such as Internet radio channels or Internet TV channels) or otherwise made available. The end-user gains several advantages over the known art. For example, end-users may easily locate desired digital objects in a certain desired format/quality and receive associated information of the objects, need not be connected during object capture, can be connected through a low speed connection, does not have to have a high capacity computer, can quickly scan a vast number of digital object sent earlier or navigate through a multitude of digital object channels, need not have the required storage space available during object capture, can legally obtain digital objects at no cost, and can prove that the digital objects were actually obtained legally.
