`SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS AND
`DISTRIBUTION OF DIGITAL PROPERTY
`
`This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/584,493,
`filed on Jan. 11, 1996, which was abandoned upon the filing
`hereof.
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`This invention relates to the control of distribution and
`access of digital property as well as to the payment therefor.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`The development and deployment of digital information
`networks is accompanied by new concerns for the protection
`of rights to data and information. The U.S. Congress Office
`of Technology ASSessment identified the following key
`developments relevant to the area of this invention: there has
`been an overall movement to distributed computing, bound
`aries between types of information are blurring, the number
`and variety of Service providerS has increased. Information
`Security and Privacy in Networked Environments,
`Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, OTA-TCT
`606, Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office,
`September 1994.
`Computer networks allow more interactivity; and, most
`Significantly, electronic information has opened new ques
`tions about copyright, ownership, and responsibility for
`information. Technology, business practice, and law are
`changing at different rates, law arguably being the slowest.
`Intellectual property, or information, is different from real
`property. A major difference between intellectual property
`and real property is that intellectual property can be embod
`ied in forms which can be copied from the owner while the
`owner Still retains the original. For example, a broadcast or
`performance of a musical composition can be recorded (and
`copies made of the recording) while the composer retains the
`original composition; a photograph can be reproduced while
`the owner retains the original negative.
`In the past, when information was Stored in analog form,
`the copying and redistribution of Such information, while
`problematic, did not account for as much economic loSS as
`is possible today. The Storage of information in analog form
`uses a physical medium that is made to have Some charac
`teristic vary in proportion with the information to be Stored.
`For instance, the groove on a vinyl record captures the
`frequency and intensity (volume) of a Sound by the extent of
`its excursion. At each Stage in the process of playing a
`record: the Stylus tracing the groove, generation of a Small
`Voltage, amplification of the Voltage, and reproduction of the
`Sound, Small errors are introduced. Today's high fidelity
`Systems are very accurate, but they are not flawleSS.
`Indeed, copying a vinyl record to a cassette tape results in
`a Small, but noticeable, reduction in Sound quality. If mul
`tiple generations of recording (e.g., cascaded recordings)
`were undertaken, the resulting product would be noticeably
`inferior to the original. Similarly, when multiple generations
`of photocopies of an image are made, the quality of the
`resulting image is typically poor, with many dark and light
`areas that were not present in the original image.
`It is the inevitable gradual degradation of quality that has
`proven to be a practical disincentive to large Scale copying
`of analog information. Notwithstanding this observation,
`where the potential profits are high, Such copying is under
`taken even though the resulting product’s quality is signifi
`cantly below that of the original. Videotape copies of movies

`represent a good example. Some fraction of the marketplace
`is willing to accept a lower quality product in exchange for
`a significantly lower price. The logistics associated with
`making large numbers of copies (an inherently serial
`process), including obtaining the raw materials (cassettes),
`the reproduction equipment, and the distribution channels
`also have served to limit illicit production. Finally, the
`quality of the product as well as the markings on the package
`distinguish it from the original and may also Serve as a
`disincentive (for Some) to purchase an illicit copy.
`Just as the invention of the printing preSS changed the way
`in which Society interacted with information on paper, the
`technical advances in digital computers and communica
`tions in the closing years of the twentieth century have a
`potential for high impact on legal, moral, and busineSS
`practice. The printing press is often credited as an enabling
`mechanism for the Renaissance and the Reformation in
`Europe. The advances in digital information technology will
`Similarly impact commerce and law. Digital technology
`enables changing the representation of information without
`changing the content. (Of course the content can be changed
`too.)
`The Storage of information in digital form depends on the
`ability to encode information in binary form to arbitrary
`precision and to record that binary form in a physical
`medium that can take on two distinct characteristics. Pre
`Serving the fidelity of information recorded in binary (using
`media with two distinct and easily-differentiated
`characteristics) is easily accomplished. For instance, a com
`pact disc Stores information (each binary digit or bit) as the
`presence or absence of a hole (depression or pit) that reflects
`or does not reflect light. Compared to the analog recording
`of phonograph records, the information Stored in each hole
`is unambiguously a binary digit, the value of which is either
`Zero or one. No other values are possible. A digital tape
`Stores each bit as a magnetic Spot that is oriented either
`north/South or South/north. Today's digital Sound Systems
`use Sufficiently many bits to capture Sound levels beyond the
`ability of the human ear to distinguish a difference and in So
`doing attain So-called “perfect” fidelity.
`A digital file can be copied with no loss of fidelity (as the
`mechanism need only distinguish between two easily
`differentiated states). With straightforward and well-known
`error-correction mechanisms, even inevitable flaws can be
`made So improbable as to occur fewer than once in ten
`billion bits.
`As a result of the ability to copy a file with no loss of
`fidelity, it is now almost impossible to differentiate a digital
`copy from the digital original. In a network environment
`recording materials, reproduction equipment and distribu
`tion are not impediments to copying. Consequently, in the
`digital domain the threshold inhibiting the making of illicit
`copies is significantly lowered. Evidence that this is the case
`is presented by the Software Publishers Association and by
`the Business Software Alliance, each of which indicates that
`billions of dollars of software is pirated (in the sense of
`being illicitly copied) each year. Additionally, print publish
`erS hesitate to expand into the network marketplace because
`they are unable to control (in the Sense of receiving com
`pensation in return for rights) Secondary distribution of their
`products as well as incorporation of their products into
`derivative products. Digitally Stored information may
`include binary data, computer Software, text, graphics,
`audio, and Video. The uses of this information include news,
`entertainment, education, and analysis. Information may be
`distributed in many ways, including networks, magnetic
`media, CD-ROM, semiconductor memory modules, and
`wireleSS broadcast.

`Copying and distributing large Volumes of digital infor
`mation over long distances is becoming easier and leSS
`costly. Such changes in cost and convenience of necessity
`impact business decisions concerning producing,
`distributing, promoting, and marketing. The commercial
`relationship among information producers (Such as authors,
`performers, and artists), distributors (Such as publishers,
`promoters, and broadcasters), and consumers must change in
`response to the technology.
