摘要

In an on-Internet multicasting content delivery system, information on each sub license in ECM (Entitlement Control Message) body includes a license ID as sub license identification information, type information indicative of whether a sub license is for preview or actual viewing and a location indicative of a stored position of the sub license in a license part (number of bytes counted from the top of the ECM body). The license part stores sub licenses.
