Method and system for controlling presentation of computer readable media on a media storage device

A system for controlling presentation of a computer readable media of a media storage device comprising:

• a usage compliance mechanism comprising a file system filter driver for controlling data reads associated with said computer readable media and for performing a second decryption of said computer readable media;
• a media presentation mechanism communicatively coupled with said usage compliance mechanism for performing a first decryption of said computer readable media and presenting said computer readable media;
• a detecting component for detecting the presence of said usage compliance mechanism and said media presentation mechanism on a computer system;
• and
• an authorizing component for authorizing a recipient of said media storage device to experience said computer readable media provided said usage compliance mechanism is installed on said computer system.

A computer readable medium for storing computer implemented instructions, said instructions for causing a computer system to perform a method for controlling presentation of a computer readable media on a media storage device, said method comprising:

• verifying the presence of a media presentation mechanism and a usage compliance mechanism on a computer system, said usage compliance mechanism comprising a file system filter driver for controlling data reads associated with said computer readable media, said media presentation mechanism communicatively coupled with said usage compliance mechanism;
• performing a first decryption of said computer readable media with said file system filter driver;
• and
• performing a second decryption of said computer readable media and presenting said computer readable media with said media presentation mechanism.
