Abstract
Methods for inline communication of permissible uses or rights of a media asset to a user are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving an intended use of a media asset from a remote device (e.g., from a user wishing to reuse the media asset in some fashion), and allowing communication of the media asset if the intended use satisfies a predetermined permissible use set (which may include one or more permissible criteria). The intended use may be compared with the predetermined permissible use set to determine if the use is okay, and if so, the method provides the remote device with a link to the media asset or a source of the media asset. In other examples, the method may transfer the media asset to the remote device, e.g., via a file transfer, streaming, and so on.
