n Digital music and video providers may have playback restrictions for downloaded media files. Copy Protection Digital media content that is purchased on the Internet may have restricted access depending on the terms agreed to when you purchased the files. This protects copyrighted media files from being illegally copied and used. You can record music or video files, but some files may retain copy protection such as digital rights management (DRM). DRM encrypts digital media content and limits access to people who have a license to play the content. For more detailed information about digital rights management, you can go to: http://www.microsoft.com Copy protection for DVD movies Most DVD movies in the market are encrypted with copy protection to prevent illegal duplication of copyrighted material.

Copy protection for music files The first time you try to copy a music CD in Media Center or Windows Media Player, a copy protection setting window appears. When you burn a music CD in Windows Media Player, an option to turn DRM on or off appears. If you keep it turned on, the music cannot be played on another PC. It can only be played on the original PC. If DRM is turned off, you can play your music on other PCs. 114 HP Media Center PC Software Guide
