Abstract
A software implemented code is operational in a system for permitting a user to access broadcast media in data communication with a broadcast receiving device. The code comprises encoded information that is sufficient to uniquely identify the media being broadcast and comprises information regarding the permitted uses of the broadcast media. The code is configured to be broadcast with the media and to travel with the broadcast media, or alternatively is configured to be distributed to the user independent of the media. The code is also capable of being selectively stored into a storage medium associated with said broadcast receiving device, and is configured to selectively permit access by the user to the broadcast media. Alternatively, the code is capable of being transmitted to a station in response to an input from the user selecting said media, and is configured to instruct the station to selectively permit access by the user to the media depending upon the user input.
