USING A CUSTOM MEDIA LIBRARY TO SECURE DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT
First Claim
1. A method for using a custom media library to secure digital media content on a computing system, said method comprising:
- directly linking said custom media library with a copyright compliance mechanism (CCM)-enabled playback/recording/recording application;
utilizing said custom media library to generate a new pathway distinct from a commonly used data pathway of said CCM-enabled playback/recording application and a media rendering subsystem of an operating system;
alerting a CCM to monitor a plurality of media subsystems of said computing system; and
securely passing a raw media file from said CCM-enabled playback/recording application via said custom media library and over said new pathway to a media subsystem of said operating system that is monitored by said CCM, such that said raw media file continuously remains in a secure environment during rendering, playback and recording.

Abstract
A system and method for using a custom media library to secure digital media content on a computing system is disclosed. The method includes directly linking the custom media library with a copyright compliance mechanism (CCM)-enabled playback/recording application. In addition, the custom media library generates a new pathway distinct from a commonly used data pathway of the CCM-enabled playback/recording application and a media rendering subsystem of an operating system. Also, a CCM is alerted to monitor a plurality of media subsystems of the computing system. In so doing, a raw media file may be securely passed from the CCM-enabled playback/recording application via the custom media library and over the new pathway to a media subsystem of the operating system that is monitored by the CCM, such that the raw media file is rendered, playable and copyable in a secure environment.

10. A system for secure and controlled digital media content rendering comprising:
-
a media library directly linked with a copyright compliance mechanism (CCM)-enabled playback/recording application; a new pathway generated by said custom media library at the user mode, said new pathway distinct from a commonly used data pathway of said CCM-enabled playback/recording application and a media rendering subsystem of an operating system; an informing generator informing a CCM to monitor a plurality of media subsystems on a computing system, such that a raw media file is securely passed from said CCM-enabled playback/recording application via said custom media library and over said new pathway to a media subsystem of said operating system that is monitored by said CCM, such that said raw media file continuously remains in a secure environment during rendering, playback and recording. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A computer readable medium having computer implementable instructions stored thereon, said instructions for causing a compliance mechanism to perform a method for using a custom media library to secure digital media content on a computing system, said method comprising:
-
directly linking said custom media library with a copyright compliance mechanism (CCM)-enabled playback/recording application; utilizing said custom media library to generate a new pathway at the user mode, said new pathway distinct from a commonly used data pathway of said CCM-enabled playback/recording application and a media rendering subsystem of an operating system, said new pathway bypassing said media rendering subsystem of said operating system; alerting a CCM to monitor a plurality of media subsystems of said computing system; and securely passing a raw media file from said CCM-enabled playback/recording application via said custom media library and over said new pathway to a media subsystem of said operating system that is monitored by said CCM, such that said raw media file continuously remains in a secure environment during rendering, playback and recording. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
