Digital Rights

Management

When you download multimedia content available online, such as audio, images, or Java applications, these items may be subject to DRM restrictions. DRM, or digital rights management, is a system that defines how copyrighted multimedia content can be distributed and used.

DRM sets items to time-based or count-based usage settings. Time-based settings let you use the given item for a specified interval. Examples of time-based settings include being able to use an item for a specified number of days from the date of purchase, a specified number of days from the date that the item is first used, or a specified number of minutes. Count-based settings let you use an item for a specified number of times after you download it or for unlimited use.

Installing Items

Except for DRM Java applications, DRM items will automatically install once they have finished downloading.

To install DRM Java applications, see “Installing Applications” on page 148.

Installing Items

To send the DRM installation to the background, press e.

Understanding DRM Status Icons

Depending on how a given third-party vendor has set rights for an item, the item may include the following status icons:

cThe item is a DRM item. e The DRM item has expired.

As with other items in media center, you can lock DRM items. See “Locking Items” on page 104.

Note: All DRM items are forward locked. See “Forward Locked Items” on page 100.

Sharing Items

You can gift a DRM item to a friend’s phone. Gifting is when you purchase a copy of a DRM item and send it to someone. If you do not want to gift an item, you can send a message to a friend’s phone
