Features of copyright protection by
OpenMG

The OpenMG Jukebox software features OpenMG, a copyright protection
technology developed by Sony to protect music copyrights.
OpenMG uses a high-level cryptographic technology to protect music
contents with computers.
Users should be notified of the restrictions mentioned below.

•Music recorded on the hard disk using the OpenMG Jukebox

software cannot be played if copied onto other computers.

•Music contents checked-out from a computer cannot be played if

copied onto other computers.

•Music contents checked-out from a computer must be checked-in to

the same computer. You cannot check-in to other computers.

•Installation of the same OpenMG Jukebox software onto other

computers is not permitted.

•Usage Rules for using music

If Usage Rules are included in the music by way of the copyright
holder or the distributor, operation will be restricted to use
permitted by the Usage Rule. For music, such as compact discs, that
does not contain a Usage Rule, the Default Usage Rule of SDMI will
be followed. This Default Usage Rule states that one file can be
checked-out up to three times only.

•On music contents that are not compatible with the OpenMG

Jukebox software

– Under the supervision of SDMI, this software prohibits recording

of music with a copy prohibition signal.

•Upgrading OpenMG Jukebox software

This software was developed in accordance with the current
arrangement between Sony and SDMI. If this arrangement is
modified in the future, some of the software functions may become
unavailable. Sony may offer an upgrade kit in this case at additional
user expense.
