This invention comprises a method and apparatus for the distribution of stored digital data files (Content). It's a kiosk device (Kiosk) which stores motion pictures, audio, video, multi-media, interactive media, etc. stored as Content for distribution to a Portable Data Storage Device (PDSD). This process loads a Drive Array(s) with Content creating a Content library, and associating the Drive Array(s) with a Kiosk(s). This makes the data immediately available for delivery to a PDSD without internet latency. Millions of titles are available for delivery to their PDSD via linking multiple local Drive Arrays through a LAN connection to multiple Kiosks and their on-board Drive Arrays on the LAN. Upon Content loading to the PDSD, the Kiosk generates a license object file containing the viewing parameters and permissions (License Object) associated with the Content file. The License Object is loaded to the PDSD along with the associated Content File. |
