1. An apparatus comprising:
- a digital-rights-management (DRM) agent to manage the utilizing of a content object including secured digital content based on a rights object (RO) related to said content object,wherein based on at least one restriction defined in said rights object (RO), said DRM agent is to cause said apparatus to present supplemental content of at least one supplemental content object when said content object is utilized,wherein said restriction relates to at least one group object (GO) including at least one reference to said at least one supplemental content object, respectively,wherein said reference includes identification information to identify said supplemental content object,wherein the group object (GO) is distinct from said rights object (RO),wherein the DRM agent is to obtain the rights object (RO) at a first time, and to obtain the group object (GO) at a second time,wherein, subsequent to a modification of content of the group object (GO), to which the rights object (RO) points, the DRM agent is to utilize the modified content of the group object (GO) while the rights object (RO) is maintained unmodified,wherein the apparatus is implemented by utilizing at least a hardware component.

14. A digital-rights-management (DRM) system comprising:
-
a DRM server to generate a rights object (RO) restricting the utilizing of a content object including secured digital content, wherein said rights object (RO) includes at least one restriction to cause the presentation of supplemental content of at least one supplemental content object when utilizing said content object, wherein said restriction relates to at least one group object (GO) including at least one reference to said at least one supplemental content object, respectively, wherein said reference includes identification information to identify said supplemental content object, wherein the group object (GO) is distinct from said rights object (RO), wherein the rights object (RO) is obtained at a first time, and wherein the group object (GO) is obtained at a second time, wherein content of the group object (GO) is modifiable while the rights object (RO), which points to said group object (GO), is maintained unmodified, wherein the DRM system is implemented by utilizing at least a hardware component. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of utilizing a content object including secured digital content, the method comprising:
-
receiving a rights object (RO) related to said content object; and based on at least one restriction in said rights object (RO), causing the presentation of supplemental content of at least one supplemental content object when said content object is utilized, wherein said restriction relates to at least one group object (GO) including at least one reference to said at least one supplemental content object, respectively, wherein said reference includes identification information to identify said supplemental content object, wherein the group object (GO) is distinct from said rights object (RO), wherein the rights object (RO) is obtained at a first time, and the group object (GO) is obtained at a second time, wherein content of the group object (GO) is modifiable while the rights object (RO), which points to said group object (GO), is maintained unmodified, wherein the method is to be performed by an electronic device comprising at least a hardware component. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
