Abstract: A method for generating a virtual recursive secure container and for generating a virtual secure container of relationship of rights along with a system that distributes copyrighted digital content, respecting the legal framework for intellectual property when distributed electronically, either on the Internet or any other digital medium, and offering consumers their rights as buyers of digital content. The logical components, ‘Master Avatar’ and ‘User Avatar’, which reside in the users' digital devices, create the virtual framework for relating rights of author and consumer. By providing each avatar with a key to decrypt the data of digital content distributed through the system, the virtual link for relating the rights of author and consumer is created. Digital content is only distributed in a virtual secure container if the author or a licensed medium previously published that content in the system and authorized its distribution in scenarios allowed by the system.

Abstract: Methods for generating a virtual recursive secure container and for generating a virtual secure container of relationship of rights along with a system that distributes copyrighted digital content, respecting the legal framework for intellectual property when distributed electronically, either on the Internet or any other digital medium, and offering consumers their rights as buyers of digital content. The digital content can be of various natures, such as an electronic book, a digital video file, a digital music file, a computer application, a computer program or any digital work requiring an electronic device to be run or enjoyed, e.g. personal computer or laptop, mp3 or mp4 players, video players, mobile phones, tablets, electronic book readers, and other specialized devices. The following scenarios for digital content distribution to the user's digital device are allowed by the invention: Firsthand, secondhand (resale), rental, exchange, and temporary or permanent transfer (gift).
