Abstract

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus comprises a processor configured to disable a right for at least one media, send a communication for at least one new media, the communication indicating the disabled right of at least one media. Further, the processor is configured to receive the at least one new media.

Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to;

disable a right for at least one media;

send a communication for at least one new media, the communication indicating the disabled right of at least one media; and

receive the at least one new media.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least one of the at least one new media is different than the at least one media.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one media and the at least one new media are at least one of the following:

audio, video, software, or combination thereof.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to activate the right for a media identifier for the at least one new media.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the right is one or more digital rights management rights.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the digital rights management right is at least one of the following:

forward-lock, combined delivery, or separate delivery.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to send a payment for the at least one new media.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to send a credit for the at least one new media.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to exchange the at least one media with the at least one new media.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to receive the at least one new media from at least one of the following:

a server, a service, and electronic device.

11. A method comprising:

disabling a right for at least one media;

sending a communication for at least one new media, the communication indicating the disabled right of at least one media; and

receiving the at least one new media.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein at least one of the at least one new media is different than the at least one media.

13. The method of claim 11 wherein the at least one media and the at least one new media are at least one of the following:

audio, video, software, or combination thereof.

14. The method of claim 11 further comprising activating the right for a media identifier for the at least one new media.

15. The method of claim 11 wherein the right is one or more digital rights management rights.

16. The method of claim 15 wherein the digital rights management right is at least one of the following:

forward-lock, combined delivery, or separate delivery.

17. The method of claim 11 further comprising sending a payment.

18. The method of claim 11 further comprising sending a credit.

19. The method of claim 11 further comprising exchanging the at least one media with the at least one new media.

20. The method of claim 11 wherein receiving the at least one new media further comprises receiving the at least one new media from at least one of the following:

a server, a service, and electronic device.

21. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to;

receive a communication for at least one new media;

activate a right for the at least one new media; and

transfer the at least one new media.

22. The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the at least one new media is one of the following:

audio, video, software, or combination thereof.

23. The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the processor is further configured to receive a payment for the at least one new media.

24. The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the processor is further configured to receive a credit for the at least one new media.

25. The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the right is one or more digital rights management rights.

26. The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the processor is further configured to receive at least one media in exchange for said at least one new media.

27. The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the processor is further configured to transfer the at least one new media to at least one of the following:

a server, a service, an electronic device, or a combination thereof.

28. A method comprising:

receiving a communication for at least one new media;

activating a right for the at least one new media; and

transferring the at least one new media.

29. The method of claim 28 wherein the at least one media and the at least one new media is at least one of the following:

audio, video, software, or combination thereof.

30. The method of claim 28 further comprising receiving a payment for the at least one new media.

31. The method of claim 28 further comprising receiving a credit for the at least one new media.

32. The method of claim 28 wherein the right is one or more digital rights management rights.

33. The method of claim 28 further comprising receiving at least one media in exchange for said at least one new media.

34. The method of claim 28 wherein transferring the at least one new media further comprises transferring the at least one media to at least one of the following:

a server, a service, an electronic device, or a combination thereof.

35. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to;

disable a right associated with at least one media; and

receive at least one credit for the disabled right.

36. A method, comprising:

disabling a right associated with at least one media; and

receiving at least one credit for disabling the right.

37. A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium bearing computer program code embodied therein for use with a computer, the computer program code comprising:

code for disabling a right for at least one media;

code for sending a communication for at least one new media, the communication indicating the disabled right of at least one media; and

code for receiving the at least one new media.
