Copyright and Copyright Protection Feature (DRM)
By the Copyright Act, any voice/music files and music CDs downloaded from the Internet
without the copyright holder’s permission may not be reproduced, distributed, publicized/re-
publicized on the Internet, or converted into WMA or MP3 files for the purpose of commercial
business or sale.
A WMA file may be provided with DRM (Digital Right Management) for copyright protection.
DRM limits the file to copy or distribute music files that are converted (ripped) from a music
CD or downloaded from music distribution services. To transfer a WMA file with DRM to the
recorder, you need to use appropriate methods such as Windows Media Player. Copying the
music files with DRM purchased from online music distribution service to a portable device
such as this recorder may be restricted.
