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.
