## Abstract

A content recording system comprises a digital media recording device to record content. A rights-management module is in electrical communication with the digital media recording device to detect a desired recording performed by the digital media recording device. The rights-management module further communicates digital rights information of a rights-managed content to the digital recording device. The recording of the rights-managed content is performed according to the digital rights information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of negotiating a rights-managed recording event, the method comprising:
determining a content to be recorded;
a confidence level corresponding to a likelihood that the content to be recorded is a right-managed content
determining whether the content is a rights-managed content
determining a confidence level of the determined rights-managed content indicating the rights-managed content is a correct content to be recorded;
alerting at least one condition at a digital media recording device in response to determining the content is a rights-managed content; and
performing a recording of the rights-managed content according to the at least one condition.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising negotiating the at least one condition prior to performing the recording the rights-managed content, wherein the at least one condition includes payment conditions, recording quality conditions, and usage conditions.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the determining whether the content is a rights-managed content is based on digital rights information electrically communicated from the content.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising determining location information of the content, wherein the determining whether the content is a rights-managed content is based on the location information.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the confidence level is based on at least one of pattern-recognition, color, movement, background, sound, and user input information and GPS coordinates of the rights-managed content.
