Restrictions on audio content

High-quality digital audio content is widely available through music distribution services on the Internet. To protect the copyrights of its holders from unauthorized distribution, some audio content is distributed with certain restrictions on recording and playback. For example, the playback period or playback count for the data may be limited. In such cases, checking out of the audio contents may not be possible.

Depending on the contents, some audio data that could be checked out are subject to editing restrictions on the Net MD; e.g., audio contents cannot be erased or track marks cannot be added or erased.

It is not possible to check in tracks other than those that were checked out from your computer (for example, tracks recorded using a microphone or through analog or digital connection).

Features by copyright protection by OpenMG

The SonicStage software features OpenMG, a copyright protection technology developed by Sony to protect music copyrights. OpenMG uses high-level cryptographic technology to protect music contents with computers.

Users should be aware of the restrictions described below.

•Music recorded on the hard disk using the SonicStage software cannot be played when copied to other computers.

•Installation of the same SonicStage software to other computers is not permitted.

•Usage Rules

If Usage Rules are included in the music by way of the copyright holder or the distributor, operation will be restricted to use permitted by the Usage Rule. For music, such as compact discs, that does not contain a Usage Rule, the Default Usage Rule of SDMI will apply. This Default Usage Rule states that one file can be checked out up to three times only.

•On music contents that are not compatible with the SonicStage software

Under the supervision of SDMI, this software prohibits recording of music with a copy prohibition signal.

•Upgrading SonicStage software

This software was developed in accordance with the current arrangement between Sony and SDMI. If this arrangement is modified in the future, some of the software functions may become unavailable. Sony may offer an upgrade kit in this case at additional user expense.
