PlayReady Content Protection

This section describes various ways of providing play back of PlayReady protected content on your Windows Store app or on your browser as a Web app.

Microsoft PlayReady is a set of technologies that prevent the unauthorized use or copying of digital content, such as music and videos, enabling content providers to distribute content securely over the Internet. PlayReady supports secure distribution of arbitrary content. PlayReady technologies incorporated into media apps on personal computers, digital phones, and other devices enforce the content access rules defined by the content provider. Content providers use Microsoft PlayReady content access technology to package digital content, defining the rules governing how users can access and consume the content. Rules can include content expiration dates, limits on the number of times the user can copy a content file, and so on.
