摘要 |
A system and method relating to the production and rendering of pre-recorded audiovisual titles, such as movies or other programs sold on digital versatile discs (DVDs), or other digital storage mediums. In at least one embodiment, the present invention is intended to thwart unauthorized mass distribution of titles. Embodiments of the invention may be used to identify the replicator of any given pre-recorded title, to prevent rendering of a title for which the replicator which produced the title is not identified or not licensed, or where the contents of the title have been tampered with, and to revoke rendering by a player device of one or more unauthorized titles originating from a given replicator.
