Abstract
In a user-configurable pre-recorded memory (UC-PM), a user can select contents he is interested in, and pay copyright fees accordingly. With large capacity, low cost and great integratibility, 3D-M, more particularly 3D-MPM, is suitable for UC-PM. It provides excellent access control and impenetrable copyright protection. UC-PM will enable a copyright distribution model fair to both copyright holders and users. On the other hand, the 3D-MPM scaling should be the fastest among all memory types.
