Methods, Media, and Systems for Access Control to Content Distributions
Methods, media, and systems for access control to content distributions are provided. In some embodiments, methods for access control to a content distribution are provided, the methods comprising: detecting at least two of a subcode, a watermark, hidden bits, a wobble track, and a valid wobble track code in the content distribution; determining whether the content distribution is an authorized product based on the detecting; and performing an action based on whether the content distribution is determined to be an authorized product.
1 . A method for access control to a content distribution, comprising:
detecting at least two of a subcode, a watermark, hidden bits, a wobble track, and a valid wobble track code in the content distribution;
determining whether the content distribution is an authorized product based on the detecting; and
performing an action based on whether the content distribution is determined to be an authorized product.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the action comprises controlling a transfer of content from the content distribution into an application.
3 . The method of claim 1 wherein the action comprises applying protection to content from the content distribution.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the action comprises adding a watermark to content from the content distribution.
5 . The method of claim 1 wherein the action comprises adding hidden bits to content from the content distribution.
6 . The method of claim 1 wherein the action comprises degrading the quality level at which content from the content distribution can be ripped.
7 . The method of claim 1 wherein the action comprises providing additional content.
8 . The method of claim 1 wherein the action comprises transferring content from the content distribution to another device.
9 . The method of claim 1 further comprising checking a wobble track code by looking-up an approved code and determining whether the wobble track code matches the approved code.
10 . A computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for access control to a content distribution, the method comprising:
detecting at least two of a subcode, a watermark, hidden bits, a wobble track, and a valid wobble track code in the content distribution;
determining whether the content distribution is an authorized product based on the detecting; and
performing an action based on whether the content distribution is determined to be an authorized product.
11 . The medium of claim 10 wherein the action comprises controlling a transfer of content from the content distribution into an application.
12 . The medium of claim 10 wherein the action comprises applying protection to content from the content distribution.
13 . The medium of claim 10 wherein the action comprises adding a watermark to content from the content distribution.
14 . The medium of claim 10 wherein the action comprises adding hidden bits to content from the content distribution.
15 . The medium of claim 10 wherein the action comprises degrading the quality level at which content from the content distribution can be ripped.
16 . The medium of claim 10 wherein the action comprises providing additional content.
17 . The medium of claim 10 wherein the action comprises transferring content from the content distribution to another device.
18 . The medium of claim 10 wherein the method further comprises checking a wobble track code by looking-up an approved code and determining whether the wobble track code matches the approved code.
19 . A system for access control to a content distribution, comprising:
a processor that:
detects at least two of a subcode, a watermark, hidden bits, a wobble track, and a valid wobble track code in the content distribution;
determines whether the content distribution is an authorized product based on the detecting; and
performs an action based on whether the content distribution is determined to be an authorized product.
20 . The system of claim 19 wherein the action comprises controlling a transfer of content from the content distribution into an application.
21 . The system of claim 19 wherein the action comprises applying protection to content from the content distribution.
22 . The system of claim 19 wherein the action comprises adding a watermark to content from the content distribution.
23 . The system of claim 19 wherein the action comprises adding hidden bits to content from the content distribution.
24 . The system of claim 19 wherein the action comprises degrading the quality level at which content from the content distribution can be ripped.
25 . The system of claim 19 wherein the action comprises providing additional content.
