<p>An optical medium (112) uses a single structure or format (such as identical materials, layers and the like) for both a region for holding information content mastered data and a writeable area (118, 126, 128). In one aspect, a writeable region (118, 128) of a medium (112) with information content mastered data is used in connection with paying, collecting or accounting for usage or royalties for proprietary intellectual property embodied in or associated with the content. In one embodiment, a key permitting access to some or all of the content, preferably when combined with a disk serial number, is stored in the writeable area (118, 128), which is preferably user inaccessible.</p> |
