Abstract
A method for the remote registration of a person'"'"'s property rights over copyrighted media items: A remote registration of property rights over copyrighted media items is conducted by comparing the characteristic attributes of the person'"'"'s items with the characteristic attributes of the items stored in the item database, by a system of a processing center, a means for the remote claiming of property, and a remote proof of ownership of media items. The remote registration is conducted on the person'"'"'s property items, based on which the property rights over these items are acknowledged and benefits entitled to these property rights are granted to the owner. These benefits include, notably a transfer of a free digital copy of the media item protected by digital rights management (DRM) to the owner. The method enables a legal, fast and efficient transition of the media item ownership model from physical copy-based to digital copy-based, while recognizing each person'"'"'s private property acquired to date and preventing harmful effects of mass digital copying, such as, proliferation of piracy. The method further enables a creation or an updating of a person'"'"'s profile of preferences to facilitate further recommendations and sales of media items to the person.
