Digital Rights Management

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 Applications

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

To install DRM Java applications:

1From the main menu, select Java Apps.

2Select the application or suite of applications you want to install.

Installation messages appear as the application installs.

3If you want to create a shortcut to the Java application on the main menu: Press A under Next. Press A under Yes. Press O.

4Press A under Done.

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 140.

Note: All DRM items are forward locked. See “Forward Locked Items” on page 136.
