  • Publication number: 20120101949
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically and transparently renewing licenses associated with downloaded content. Licensing associated with content can allow the provider to retain control over the content after it has been downloaded on to the user's computer. A license file or similar licensing parameter is the key to retaining control over access to the content after it has been downloaded. The license file may also control copying of the content on to computers other than the original computer used. The dynamic renewal method will transparently renew the license files on a user's computer to allow the associated content to be used without disruption as long as the user's account is in good standing.

  • Publication number: 20070239546
    Abstract: A system and method of interactive advertising is provided in which an interactive media player is configured to allow user interaction as media having advertising is played. User interaction, such as by clicking a watermark, sends a signal with identifying information. Clicking the watermark and sending the signal does not interrupt the operation of the media player, such as by stopping the display of the content or opening another browser window. The user may selectively respond to advertisements and a user profile may be created based on the responses and/or the content that is played.
