Methods, systems and products for distributing digital content
View Patent ↗Methods, systems, and products distribute digital content based on digital rights license. A digital file may be fragmented into a plurality of unusable fragments. Each unusable fragment is separately unusable. Each unusable fragment may be tagged with a tag to generate tagged unusable fragments. The digital rights license is generated based on the tag, such that the tagged unusable fragments may be reassembled into the digital file.
1. A method, comprising:
fragmenting a digital file into a plurality of unusable fragments;
tagging each unusable fragment with a tag to generate tagged unusable fragments; and
generating a digital rights license based on the tag that allows reassembly of the tagged unusable fragments into the digital file.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising preventing reassembly of the plurality of unusable fragments.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising deriving a representation of one of the unusable fragments from the tag.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein fragmenting the digital file comprises dividing the digital file into the plurality of unusable fragments.
5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising distributing the tagged unusable fragments.
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising distributing the tagged unusable fragments to different storage locations.
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising distributing the tagged unusable fragments to a client device.
8. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
fragmenting a digital file into a plurality of unusable fragments, wherein each of the plurality of unusable fragments is separately unusable;
tagging each unusable fragment with a tag to generate tagged unusable fragments; and
generating a digital rights license based on the tag that allows reassembly of the tagged unusable fragments into the digital file.
9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise preventing reassembly of the plurality of unusable fragments.
10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise deriving a representation of one of the unusable fragments from the tag.
11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise dividing the digital file into the plurality of unusable fragments.
12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise distributing the tagged unusable fragments.
13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise distributing the tagged unusable fragments to different storage locations.
14. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise distributing the tagged unusable fragments to a client device.
15. A memory storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
fragmenting a digital file into a plurality of unusable fragments;
tagging each unusable fragment with a tag to generate tagged unusable fragments; and
generating a digital rights license based on the tag that allows reassembly of the tagged unusable fragments into the digital file.
16. The memory of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise preventing reassembly of the plurality of unusable fragments.
17. The memory of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise deriving a representation of one of the unusable fragments from the tag.
18. The memory of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise dividing the digital file into the plurality of unusable fragments.
19. The memory of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise distributing the tagged unusable fragments to different storage locations.
20. The memory of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise distributing the tagged unusable fragments to a client device.
