Standalone serial copy management system (SCMS) compliance with respect to distributing and receiving protected digital media is disclosed. In general, when a digital media file is selected for transfer or reception between a computing system and another device, serial copy management system copy/playback information for the digital media file is accessed. If the serial copy management system copy/playback information comprises unrestricted copy/playback information the SCMS may utilize a common transfer pathway for the transfer or reception. However, if the serial copy management system copy/playback information comprises controlled copy/playback information the SCMS utilizes a new pathway distinct from said common transfer pathway for the transfer or reception of digital media, providing complete copyright protection from point of entry. In so doing, standalone SCMS compliance uses technological measures that effectively control access to the copyright protected work, as described in 17 U.S.C. sections 1201, 1202 and 1001. |
