[Prior Art] The use of digital data has increased dramatically and has continued to increase over the past few decades. All different types of digital data are transmitted, communicated and/or stored via various lines, networks and media. Digital data is often valuable, and the owners and distributors of such valuable information prefer data protection. There are a number of ways to apply protection to digital data, including encryption, scrambnng, and other such protections. Others require additional or additional protection for the content. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention advantageously addresses the above and other needs by providing methods, provisions, systems, and media for providing protection for digital content. Some embodiments provide methods for protecting content that access media content having a section reserved for use in 200830323 for error data; searching for and identifying one (four) section; accessing error material; going to the media The v-knife of the reserved area in the content is replaced with the error data; and the media content and the error data are recorded on a medium. Similarly, some specific embodiments provide a method of protecting content. These methods access the media content; identify multiple sites in the media content that should incorporate the erroneous data into it, and incorporate the erroneous data that includes a plurality of adjacent cells. Within each of the identified locations; defining a view command in a tour during the playback process, indicating - playing a plurality of proximitys of the erroneous data incorporated into the media content Each of the series of units; and recording the media content, the erroneous data, and the essay on a medium. Some embodiments provide a method of protecting content. The methods are operable to access the media content; to evaluate the media content; to identify a plurality of locations within the media content to which the identifier is to be incorporated; modify the media content to be included in the media content at each identified location A predetermined identifier is incorporated, and the location is configured to set each location index as a location in which the erroneous material can be incorporated; and to deliver the modified media content. (4) (4) For the method of generating _ recordable media. These methods can be used to generate media by providing a recordable medium; selecting a section on the medium; writing predetermined material to the selected section to generate a reserved section 'The sections are configured Set to receive error data; generate - a mapping table of the sections that are reserved to receive the error data; and write the mapping table to the medium. 200830323 I provide a recordable medium for his specific implementation. The media includes a body of rf-area 'this first-area is configured to be stored in the media: a plurality of segments in the first region are pre-recorded with a predetermined amount of the predetermined f-system The group is purely defined as each of the plurality of segments as a reserved segment; and a pair of mapping tables, # can identify the location of the reserved regions I on the medium. The features and advantages of the present invention are set forth in the <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; In the multiple drawings of the entire diagram, the corresponding reference character is the corresponding component. Those skilled in the art will understand that the components in the drawings are for the purpose of clarity and clarity and are not necessarily to scale. For example, the dimensions of some of the components in the drawings may be exaggerated relative to the other components' to assist in further understanding the various embodiments of the invention. Also, the common and well-known components that may be used or necessary in a specific embodiment of the invention are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the various embodiments of the invention. [Embodiment] Some embodiments of the present invention may provide protection for content that has been recorded and/or can be recorded on a media. This protection at least partially limits, prohibits, and/or prevents unauthorized copying of the content. 1 depicts a simplified flow diagram of a method for protecting content, in accordance with some embodiments. In step 22, the method retrieves or receives digital content, such as multimedia content and/or other such digital content that can be played and/or displayed. In step 124, the content is evaluated and one or more identifiers, points, and/or reserved sections or portions of the content are found in the content. The identifiers can be any identifier that can distinguish between a point, a section, and/or a portion of the content. In step 126, an error message or content is retrieved, received, and/or generated. In step 130, the error data is embedded and/or merged into the content, adjacent to and/or substituted for one or more of the identifiers found in step 124. These specific κ regimens may be based on a number of factors, such as the number of identifiers, the number and/or number of false data, the size and/or amount of content received, the number of times the content is delivered, and/or other such factors or factors. Combine to repeat steps 124, 126, and 130 — or multiple times. In some embodiments, the erroneous data is incorporated and/or embedded in an image file that represents part or all of the content that will be written to a media such as a compact disc. In step = 132, the modified content and/or image file with the error information is entered or recorded into a computer readable medium, such as a portable storage medium (such as a digital compact disc (DVD), a compact disc). (CD) and/or other portable storage media), flash memory, memory stick or card, random access memory (ram), read only memory (ROM) and/or other such memory or A combination of memories. ^ Error material incorporated into this content may provide some protection against unauthorized copying of the internal and/or media. In some embodiments, the error data may result in (4) improper phase replication, and/or generation may be performed. An error and/or a serious error detected by the device being processed by the device causes the device to be copied to suspend copying. For example, in some embodiments, the 8 200830323 error data may include changes or provide one or more incorrect or bad errors to the parental code (ECC) data and/or block, such that the modified The content contains bad or incorrect ECC data and/or blocks. This bad Ecc data can make content copying difficult and/or prevent content copying. Other such erroneous data may be additionally and/or alternatively incorporated into the content to provide protection against copying of the content. 2 depicts a simplified flow diagram of a method 220 to provide protection for content, in accordance with some embodiments. In step 222, the content is retrieved and/or received. In step 224, the content is parsed and/or searched to find one or more identifiers and/or reserved locations or sections. In step 226, it is determined whether a reserved section and/or an identifier is found in a portion or section of the content. When an identifier or reserved section is identified, an optional step 230 is entered where the method 22 determines whether the error data should be incorporated into the content. In some embodiments, the optional step 230 is implemented to change the occurrence and/or location of the erroneous data in the modified content, which in some embodiments is to The location in the content is randomized. For example, by incorporating step 230, the method 220 can randomly select portions of identifiers and/or reserved regions to incorporate error data into the content and/or image archive. Changing the location of the error data within the content stream and/or image file may enable finding and/or predicting where the erroneous data is located on the media and adding additional difficulty in copying the protected content. When it is determined in step 230 that the error material will be incorporated, the method 22 continues to step 232 where the error data can be generated, retrieved, and/or received. 9 200830323 In 234, the error data is included and/or embedded in the content. At step 236+, the error data is recorded to the memory or media. The location in the content stream and/or on the medium is identified in step 238. In some embodiments, the location of the erroneous data is recorded or maintained within a buffer or other temporary storage. In step 24, the method determines if there is additional content to be evaluated and/or written. When additional content needs to be written, the method returns to step 224 to continue parsing the content. Or alternatively, the method continues to step 25〇. Returning to step 226, when the reserved section and/or an identifier is not detected, the method continues to step 242 where the section or the scar of the content is recorded to the memory and/or Or the media. After step 242, the method fluctuates to step 24 to determine if additional content is to be evaluated and/or written. Similarly, in step 230, when it is determined that the error data does not need to be incorporated into the valley, the method 22 continues to step 244 where the segment is removed from the child valley stream or It is recorded to the media. In some specific, target examples, the method continues to step 23 8 to annotate or record one or more of the reserved segments that are incorporated into the valley, image, and/or written to the media. position. After step 238, the method continues to step 24 to determine if additional content is to be evaluated and/or written. In step 250, the method can generate and/or change a file, file structure, mapping, and/or view by utilizing the location identified in step 238. The browsing partially assists a playback device to browse through the inner valley of a medium. In step 252, the method 22 incorporates the browsing into the shirt image file and/or records the browsing in memory or media. This may be 10 200830323 when the playback device is able to access the browsing and/or mapping on the media when the content is played from the media containing the incorporated erroneous material, thereby coordinating the content on the media Play. In some instances, the play uses the (4) (4) access-free error data and/or skips the error data. In some embodiments, in order to avoid accessing the erroneous data during playback, the -cell link command is inserted into the _program key (pGc) pre-order (four) column, so that when there is a bad block The unit bit can be skipped when it is near the start of a pGc. Additionally or alternatively, when a bad block is located near the we = end point, a unit command can be added to the unit preceding the bad block unit to skip it. Further, in some instances, in order to avoid erroneous data when performing a forward scan or a backward scan, UOP is added to the nav package, so that scanning processing close to the erroneous data can be disabled. Further, in some embodiments, additional additional random benefit deletion G data may be added to the error data block, so decoding or re-encoding processing on invalid MPEG data may fail. In each of his cases, the DSV data style can be used in Liu Guanli, as described in the US: Application Publication No. 2005/0193313, which is incorporated into the case. / In some embodiments, the method 22 is to access and/or receive content, and to actively write content to the media %. Incorporating the error data into the content when the content is recorded on the medium may partially help to change and/or randomize the erroneous data in some embodiments: in the content:: on the media Incorporate or place. Therefore, different media may contain different errors, and/or error data may be placed in the content and/or 11 200830323 at the unprinted location on the media. The browsing can similarly vary from media to media, such as I ^ in terms of the random placement of the erroneous material in the content stream and/or on the media. ... the dispersion of the shell material can partially enhance the data protection, because the temple aims to overcome the protection and copy the content without proper authorization of the person will usually not be able to use - identify where may be incorporated into the wrong version of the pattern . According to;; people who want to copy protected content will have to evaluate the media and the media office μ # ”, Neigu, in order to try to find out the wrong information before attempting to copy. In fact, the error data can contain a series of multiple errors; ''early 7L' these are in the program chain of the video title set (off).

The buffered data includes "without access and/or playback, and does not cause a wrong dress during playback. For example, the buffer unit may include one or more black two r! punches; The content is referred to by the content (: = mouth early 4 with early 兀 m and video object iD), and Liu Huihui proceeds to step 12 200830323 to instruct the playback device to skip these units and/or the area containing the units This (four) punching unit is different from the single-error data described in the text of the US Public Patent Application and Dreams No. 5/0185926 awarded to Basile et al., ^ This case is supplied to Taian 4^ according to the reference method. #t, 入,和式式人, and further, the review can provide a single meter without accessing a single unit with erroneous data by incorporating the buffer unit or data into the error unit Before and/or after, it is possible to limit and/or prevent errors that are desired during playback. Once the playback device plays, for example, video content, it will scan forward the content expected to be (4). For this reason, some of the playbacks receive a command from the playlist to skip the error. Before the unit, in fact, 0 first self-error # single-speed to temporarily store the wrong data. By means of an error unit, the front (relative to the playback of the unit) is first incorporated into one or more (four) units. The high-speed temporary storage order reserves the contents of the ##·冲早兀, and provides the play as the day-to-day 俾, receives the skip command P 7 to skip the β Hai error (this will indicate that the playback benefit skips one or more The buffer unit and the error buffer are as early as possible. Since the playback device has a buffered blank that will not be misplaced in the playback device (for example, the black screen video content, in the single ^ ^ 隹 兀One or more static v〇BU, or the like) 'Therefore, the player’s dream is set to skip the error data, and the error is not met. However, the unauthorized W稷I is like the essay As described later, it will be further explained that it will not jump - the temple is too early or wrong, so an error will occur when copying the content. That is, as described above and further clarified in the following text, the error information can be Is placed in the content of the potential number of helmets ... sigh. In addition, Changing the location (eg, random placement) in which the error data is incorporated in the valley of 13 200830323, the dream further assists in protecting the content in a small part. Similarly, when the error is implemented by the unit, the definition is defined. The number of error units and/or the number of buffer units of the error data may be similarly changed. Further, in this case, the number of the delay elements may be randomly changed and changed, and the number of error units may be In addition to or in addition, the manner in which the error cells are placed relative to the buffer cells can be changed. Typically, the error data begins with buffering the data and ends with buffered data, * the wrong data is placed and/or scattered. The entire buffer data, for example, one or more buffer units are placed at the beginning of a series of two error data, and one or more buffer units are placed at the end of the series. In some implementations, restrictions are imposed on the number of errors and/or buffer units. For example, according to some standards and/or playback devices, the number of errors and/or buffer soaps TL is limited to 255 cells per PGC. In addition, the randomization of the 7-error data may include capturing and/or generating a = number of buffered static VOBUs in the buffer unit; generating a random number of starting logics: ▲ number (number of segments)' a bad ECC block; generating a left Echo block in the wrong unit or a bad ECC block in the wrong unit; randomly placing one or more error units in the Z buffer unit The error

For example, the controller can take a server 440, 俾#i &amp; Or other authorized resources for accessing and copying the content, with the same information ^β reference edge key / or other authorized shell to access and parse the content. In step _ ^ ^ ^ oyster 524, select the 4 knowledge or section of the content. In step 526, the person becomes a section of the content Whether each has an identifier or a reserved section defined as a contradiction. In evaluating the part or section of the inner valley, whether or not 箄^ ^ ^ , . , H , or A plurality of bit or bit series is designed for a pre-supplement style, that is, as the front cup, and the identifier can be roughly any discriminating indication. In a specific embodiment, a 20 200830323 reservation, a meta-series or a globally unique identifier (guid) may be incorporated in the section by which the section is identified as a reserved section. In the case of a case, the controller can determine whether the section contains a predetermined Guid. When the controller recognizes that the zone is a reserved zone, it proceeds to step two 32 where it is decided whether the zone should be selected to incorporate the error data. The selection may be based on the knowledge w(10)D or style, random selection, based on one, more predetermined styles, or other such selections. For example, by changing the selection of a section, the location of the erroneous data changes, which makes it more difficult to predict where the error is located, and provides additional protection for the content: In instances where the section is selected to incorporate error data, the dirty method proceeds to step 534' where the controller instructs the write player 426 to: the error data is incorporated in the content stream. Or the other, go to the step, and only write the section by the original content or divide it from the content string &gt;’丨1_. In this case, and in the case of the occupants, the 534 and 536 are implemented by the talent system as 424, i let Aihua's write command or different fate of the fruit into the dish. The machine or device 426 is configured to follow the determination of step 532 to ^. After steps 534 and 536, the method proceeds to step 542. It is parsed and/or evaluated in step 542. When there is no step inside;; = enter: step inside the valley ends.

The writing device may not recognize the command to write the wrong data, and/or may not be modified earlier. The blade has the advantage of a modified write command. After step 54, the method continues to step 542. Decision 8 Decide whether there is further information to be evaluated 1 Ancient 0 As described above, 'The identifier can contain—predefined identifiable bits or groups or strings, global-only identifier (GUID) Or the pot can identify the segment as an identifier of a reserved segment. In this embodiment, a G (four) or a series of bits will be repeated - or more than two to fill the segment as a The section is reserved, and the error / , the mussel J is to be incorporated and/or embedded in /. For example, the GUID may be like a "4D36E9(10)25 1 CE BF C1 08 00 2B E1 03 18" The carry form is written: !定=直' this: the identification is - the calibration should be incorporated into the identification of the error data. As a further example, a specific example can be used to make a 2048 byte for the segment The data is set to a predefined (2) bit of 22 200830323 GUID or other pattern and repeated until the section is filled to indicate a reserved section. In some instances, the content stream contains a 2054 bit The image file of the tuple section can be used to determine whether the section is reserved In the case of a segment, the 6-byte copyright and area management information (CPRMAI) header is ignored. In some embodiments, a write command can be issued through the controller 424, and the commands notify the write drive. Or the device 426 incorporates the error material to incorporate the error data into the content to be written to and/or written to the media 422.

Figure 6 depicts a write in response to receipt - writing content to a medium 422 27 200830323 into A simplified flow chart of the method (4) for writing a disc player or loading i 426. A write command is received at (4) 622. Typically, the write command is issued by the controller 424. At step 424 Determining whether the write command contains an instruction to merge the error data. In some embodiments, step 624 includes determining whether the write command contains - a bad ECC bit, which is in the modified Write (1) 〇) The command, once modified ((7) The order and/or the second order are set to a predetermined value (for example, BE is set to "1"). When the write command does not contain an instruction to incorporate the error data At time v, enter step 626, where the data identified by the write command will be To the media. π When the write command does contain an instruction to incorporate the error data, proceed to step 630 where the error data is retrieved and/or generated. In step μ], the error message is recorded. In some embodiments, the steps 63 0 and 632 may be combined into a single step, where the error data may be generated during the recording of the media, as described in further detail below. In step 634, the location of the erroneous data on the medium and/or within the content is identified and buffered or buffered. In some embodiments, a location of the erroneous data may be utilized to generate a play view. And is utilized by a playback device. The ability of the writing device and/or the intended playback device may limit how the erroneous data is incorporated into the content and/or image archive and where it is located. For example, in some In the example and/or by means of some writing means 426, the erroneous data may be generated in a series of consecutive blocks, such as three (3) or more consecutive units or bad ECC data, which may be equivalent to, for example, the medium. 〇χ3〇 28 200830323 Sections (eg according to DVD format) ^ ^ goods ^ ^ ^ Table $Intrusion device can have: ί = write this... start writing error data, stop writing error:,: "write content (for example In the unit process, the writing of the internal code is stopped in the early morning 70, and the error data 'is written in the third unit and the content is written again in the third unit. The write can be operated, for example, in the -packet write mode. The intrusion is implemented as the stop and start of the content intrusion. Some specific implementations are semi-Gangbei, and she writes a multi-stage write in the first-writing process, while In the second entry, for example, the error data is written by means of a part in which the J_Yi λ A is written or skipped in the first stage.

In some embodiments, the error material may be simply skipped by the playback device (four), and/or the error data may be expected relative to the content and/or the content and/or the media. At the location where it is formatted and aligned, the error data is merged into the content. For example, the error data may be incorporated before or after a portion of the content, i.e., after a #illustrator. Then, in other real dragons and/or for other broadcasts, 3, error data can be incorporated at substantially any desired location of the video archive and/or content stream. Still referring to Figure 6, step 630 of generating and/or receiving error data can be implemented in a number of ways. For example, the error data may be generated by the controller 424 or another device and transferred to or retrieved by the write command in accordance with the write command for incorporation. In some implementations, the write disc player can scramble or otherwise accept the E C C stock and incorporate the scrambled e C C data into the content as an error material. The scrambling code processing can be substantially any scrambling code processing to make the E C C data no longer valid. The erroneous data can be generated by changing the modulation of the content when the content is written to the media. In addition or in addition, when a laser is used to write the content, the power and/or intensity of the laser can be changed, stopped, and activated during the writing process, thereby generating a breakpoint and generating a link during writing. Blocks, boarder zones, and/or other such methods. Figure 7 depicts a simplified flow diagram of a method 72 for defining and/or incorporating one or more identifiers and/or reserved sections in the content. The identifiers and/or reserved sections are inserted into the content to define at least 30 200830323 a portion of the content in which the error data can be incorporated. The content is retrieved and/or retrieved at step 722. In some instances, the guest has an initial smear of makeup, such as uncompressed video and audio, as received. The owner's or other formats as shipped by the content developer and/or supplier (7). In step 724, the content is evaluated and content of one to four minutes is selected. In some embodiments, the evaluation and selection can identify transitions in the content, such as scene changes, the content, or portions of the content: ",", and/or endpoints, seamed breakpoints, and Other such locations in the content. The assessor may include an end point or starting point identifying the content, a scene change or an image frame (I-frame), an end point of the preview or preview content, and a special introduction ( For example, the starting point or ending point of the movie, the starting point of the point deduction, and/or other such conversions in the inner valley. In addition, the wrong information can be combined in an area where the medium is not normally read. Or at a location. For example, the error data can be incorporated into a disc or other related media that does not contain other information, such as when the content does not fill a medium; the error data can be entered into In an area where content is recorded, the area is an area that the medium is not normally read. Alternatively, additional or fake titles may be incorporated into the content without accessing, linking, or Refer to these extra headings. Accordingly, these titles are typically not read during playback, but are typically accessed during the copying of the content. In step 726, a decision is made whether an identifier or a reserved section should be incorporated. The content is selected from the portion of the content selected in step 724. The decision made in step 726 may be partially provided to vary and/or randomize the placement of the error data 31 200830323 in the content. Thus, for example, multiple versions of the content may cause the reserved sections and/or identifiers to be inserted at different locations along the content. In some embodiments, there is a = in step 6 when a reserved section should be incorporated Or the identifier may be determined based on a random selection, according to a predetermined pattern and/or based on other factors, such as the expected type of playback device that will be used to play the content, and other such factors. When an identifier or reserved segment is incorporated prior to the portion, the method 720 continues to step 738. Alternatively, when an identifier or reserved segment should be incorporated, step 73 is entered and an identification is generated. In some instances, the identifier is a GUID and/or other identifiable bit = 2 byte style. For example, the identifier can be a GUID, and the repeating X is filled in the selection of the content. Some of the previous one or more segments. Further, for example, one or more blank or black frames or screen images may be incorporated into the content and/or the identifier. In step 732, the content is modified to Incorporating the identifier, and/or incorporating and/or embedding the content in the content. The incorporation may include inserting only the identification and/or retention section prior to the selected portion of the content, Generating (multiple) link blocks, creating a boundary, generating a zone, and/or other such incorporation. As mentioned above, the incorporation and/or embedding of the identifier and/or the reserved segment may comprise The (etc.) identifier and/or the reserved section are embedded in an image file which represents a portion or content of the medium to be written to a disc. 〆|Negative In step 734, the portion of the content and the identifier are recorded and/or buffered. For example, the portion of the (4) volume and the identifier are buffered as in the image 32 200830323, and when completed, the person can be passed to the note, the pro-clothing and/or distributed to the remote user. For recording. After step 734, the method continues to step 744. At step %, the method determines if further steps should be added and/or incorporated. The method returns to step 724 when the step content should be added and/or incorporated. Some embodiments further provide - a location mapping table in the media content, incorporating the identifiers herein. Or the other 'the method ends, and the modified content (such as media content) can be recorded to a medium, passed to other devices for recording, and/or distributed to - or a plurality of remote users (eg, through a decentralized network). For example, the image file is completed and includes modified media content having the identifiers and/or reserved segments. The image file can then be recorded and/or distributed. Returning now to step 726, when it is not necessary to incorporate an identifier or reserved section prior to the portion, the method 720 continues to step 738 where portions of the content are recorded and/or buffered. In step 74, it is determined whether an identifier or a reserved section should be incorporated into the content after the portion of the content selected in step 724. When an identifier or a reserved section is to be incorporated after the portion, the method continues to step 742 where the media content is modified such that the identifier and/or reserved section is generated and is in the content The selected part is then incorporated into the content. After step 742, the method continues to step 744 to determine if further content is to be added and/or entered. Returning to step 740, when the decision should not incorporate an identifier or reserved section, the method continues to step 744 to determine if further content is to be added and/or incorporated. 33 200830323 The method 720 enables a content owner, supplier, and/or distributor to disambiguate one or more locations in the content, where the error data can be entered. Based on the reserved segments and/or identifiers, the erroneous material can be incorporated into the content while the inner valley is being written and/or transmitted. This allows the modified content with the identifiers and/or reserved sections to be distributed to an authorized and/or authenticated destination. Moreover, in some of the foregoing implementations, it is not necessary to incorporate erroneous content into each of the identifiers and/or retention sections. Inside the valley. One or more identifiers and/or reserved segments may be remotely (e.g., randomly selected) and the error data may be incorporated for the selected one or more reserved segments and/or identifiers. In some embodiments, the portion of the content selection at step 724 is limited to portions of the content having significant transitions, scene breaks, and/or other discriminative transitions. In some instances, under digital video content (eg, a movie), the conversion may be before the movie content begins, after the movie content ends, before a preview or preview content, after a preview content, and/or Other such conversions. However, other implementations may incorporate a reserved section and/or identifier, for example, at a scene change, before an image frame (I-frame), or at other such locations in the content. In the content of the movie. In some embodiments, the insertion and/or location of the erroneous data may be at least partially governed by the intended playback device. Thus, the selection of the -identifier and/or the reserved section may be based on the intended playback device, some of which may have limited functionality, and thus the erroneous data is limited to the error incorporated therein. The data does not interfere with the point at which the content plays. The author, distributor, etc., of the content of the video trailer or video movie title 34 200830323 and/or the creator may include and/or incorporate the erroneous material or block in the video content, and such reservations Segment or error data is not accessed through the content menu system. Therefore, the playback device usually does not access these parts because they are not referenced in the menu. In addition or in addition, another piece of content or part (such as a video part) may be inserted into the video file or content stream, such as in the middle of the media, and the segment or part is partially filled Full or complete filling of incorrect data or bad blocks, which usually do not directly access the segment or portion from the menu or by the playback device. That is, as described in the text, in some embodiments, one or more blanks may be left by the content provider by, for example, an identifier, an identifier, and/or a portion of the segment as claimed. Or a black frame is incorporated into the content stream. When the error material is incorporated, the reserved section and/or the dark screen may be used when incorporating the error material. In some embodiments, some or all of the reserved sections or data in the reserved section are replaced with the error material, such as a wrong Ecc profile. In some embodiments, some or all of the erroneous data may be incorporated into a predefined portion of the media. The media may be manufactured and/or grouped and converted into one or more portions of the media that are pre-selected to receive error data for inclusion in the erroneous data and/or by entity. Figure 8 depicts a simplified area ghost map of a media 82 such as a disc (e.g., DVD, CD, or other such medium). 4 The media 820 includes a data portion 2 in which content can be written and a control region 824. In Figure 8, the media 820 is shown as being set at the inner radius of the media. However, the cough 35 200830323 control area can be located at approximately any area, dispersed and/or divided into the entire medium. In some embodiments, the control area is an area in which the recording is not normally accessed. Existing media have similar control areas and are typically not accessed for writing. The control area may contain one or more menus, parameters, encryption keys, authorization information, serial numbers, and/or other such information. The tributary portion 822 further contains one or more predetermined areas 8%. These areas may be paid for identification, the identifiers indicating the part in which the erroneous data should be incorporated, the identification of the erroneous data being incorporated in and/or within the predetermined area; Information; may be altered by an entity to obtain an error or other such condition; and/or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the one or more predefined regions 826 can define a _style that enables the media to be recognized and/or used to authenticate the media\by, for example, allowing content to be copied to the In the data section 822. For example, the formula can be used to identify and/or verify the media. Figure 9 depicts a simplified flow diagram of a method 920 for fabricating and/or distributing media (such as a disc "o and/or other media". In step 922, a portion or portions of a medium or The area is based on the person-identification#, the error=material, the entity change and/or the like. In some implementations, the two 'chosen-random selection' and the selected areas are randomly scattered in at least (four) body data The portion 822, in the step of creating a media map of the media, the mapping table at least identifying the location of the selected regions. In step 926, a media is poked or otherwise generated. Again, the 36 200830323 selected areas may include an identifier that is poked into the selected area, with or without the erroneous data of the stamped s main to the selected area; The entity is altered during the process (eg, the material cannot be written to these regions); and/or other such methods may be utilized to specify or define the selected region. In some instances, the mapping table may be further poked at the In the media, Ya can be poked in the Within the material area 822 and/or the control area 824. The media produced by the method 920 incorporates erroneous material and/or identifies areas on the medium in which erroneous data can be incorporated. In some embodiments The manufacturer pokes a single medium and then repeats the method 92' to utilize a different selected area pattern to produce another medium. Alternatively, the manufacturer can generate a plurality of media of the same style, and then other The media repeats the method 920. For example, a manufacturer can generate a plurality of media (e.g., the first 500 DVDs), each having a first selected region pattern 826. The manufacturer then generates a second pattern and stamps Note that the second plurality of media (eg, the second 500 DVDs), then continue to produce the third, fourth, and subsequent arbitrary number of selected regions of the changed style. The 'innumerable styles can be used to generate the media. Dispersing the media to different individuals effectively breaks up media of the same style. Figure 10 depicts a method for writing content to a medium (like A simplified flowchart of the method of the media 820). In step 1022, it is determined whether the media is in the disk drive and/or accessible. When the media cannot be accessed, an error is generated in step 1024. Alternatively, the process proceeds to step 1026 where the method determines if the media contains one or more predetermined errors or bad areas. In some embodiments, the media is evaluated, 37 200830323 if a mapping table exists. When it is determined whether the medium contains the predetermined area, the content may be 220 to determine whether the medium contains the predetermined area or the other, and the media may be evaluated to have some or all of the predetermined areas.
