Abstract

An Internet or other content authorization system consists of an Internet authorization notice in the form of a flag. This flag can be embedded in each original recording at the time of manufacture, such that a primary feature of the flagging system is to prevent Internet access and unauthorized use of any original recording that does not contain an Internet authorization flag. The Internet authorization flag can be recorded on a media, such as digital audio tapes (DATs), compact discs (CDs), digital video/versatile discs (DVDs), and personal computers (PCs), or subjected to a transmission channel or network, including satellite, cable, the Internet or intranets. The Internet authorization flagging system also allows control of different kinds of authorized Internet uses that may be made, and is capable of identifying the existence and location of unauthorized Internet use.
