The software giant, Microsoft has unveiled a system, which will allow users to share their mobile content between mobile phones, PCs and other mobile devices.
Microsoft has launched a new digital rights management system (DRM) named PlayReady at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Microsoft’s DRM will allow the use of commercial content on multiple different devices for a single fee.
A new DRM system, PlayRedy is based on a system of virtual environments named domains. Users can register multiple devices within their domain. If a mobile phone operator, Internet service provider or broadcaster has registered with PlayReady, then their users can purchase content through the system and transfer it to other domain-registered devices. Users can transfer the content, including music, video, games ringtones and images. Even users can also transfer audio/video formats including, WMA, AAC/AAC+/HE-AAC, WMV and H.264.
The PlayReady is fully compatible with Windows Media DRM 10, allowing devices that support PlayReady to access content using Windows Media DRM.
According to Chadd Knowlton, general manager for content access and protection at Microsoft, PlayReady is not integrated with Windows Mobile 6. it is a platform-agnostic and users can use it wherever they want.
