What is MagicGate?

MagicGate is copyright protection that consists of authentification and encryption technology. Authentification technology ensures that protected content is only transferred between compliant devices and media. Protected content is recorded and transferred in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized duplication or playback.

￿ A MG Memory Stick can be recognized from its mark.

Copyright protected music data cannot be checked out to a Memory Stick other than an MG Memory Stick.

The recorded music is limited to private use only. The use of music for any purpose other than the intended use requires the permission of the copyright holders.

Sony is not responsible for music files that are not saved on your computer due to unsuccessful recording from CDs or unsuccessful downloading of music.
