  • Patent number: 8544108
    Abstract: To provide a copyright protection storage medium in which copyright protected contents are recorded by an information recording apparatus connected to a content server providing copyright protected contents and a license server handling licenses concerning recording/playback of the copyright protected contents through a network, in which the copyright protected contents are written by a simple copy-and-paste when the information recording apparatus is possessed by a prescribed user, and the copyright protected contents are written by combining a domain model which assures playback in the apparatus and a media-bind model when the information recording apparatus is possessed by another user.

  • Patent number: 8239961
    Abstract: A method for monitoring time so that the use of protected content can be controlled includes receiving a trusted time value from a trusted authority external to a client device. When the client is no longer in communication with the trusted authority, the previously-received trusted time value is updated by use of the client's operating system counter so that a calculated trusted time value is derived for content license evaluation purposes.
