BORE-resistant digital goods configuration and distribution methods and arrangements

A computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for:

• with the at least one computer;
• receiving an initial digital good, wherein the initial digital good includes a plurality of selectively arranged parts in an initial configuration and the initial digital good is configured as to not properly function with the computer;
• receiving unique key data;
• and
• converting the initial digital good into a modified digital good using the unique key data to selectively individualize the initial digital good for use with the at least one computer, such that the plurality of selectively arranged parts in the modified digital good are rearranged to have a substantially unique operative configuration that properly functions with the at least one computer and is different than the initial configuration.

A computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for:

• receiving unique identifier data associated with at least one computer;
• generating unique key data based on at least the unique identifier data;
• receiving at least a portion of an initial digital good having a plurality of selectively arranged parts in an initial configuration;
• converting the at least a portion using the unique key data to selectively individualize the portion, such that a modified portion of the digital good is produced having the plurality of parts rearranged in a different configuration than the initial configuration;
• and
• providing at least the modified portion of the digital good and at least a portion of the unique key data to the at least one computer.

A system comprising:

• an identifier configured to output unique identifier data associated with a computer;
• a key generator coupled to receive the unique identifier data and generate at least one unique key data based on the received unique identifier data;
• and
• at least one individualizer configured to receive the unique key data and at least a portion of an initial digital good that includes a plurality of selectively arranged parts in an initial configuration, and output at least a portion of a modified digital good using the unique key data to selectively individualize the initial digital good, such that the plurality of selectively arranged parts in the modified digital good have been rearranged to be operatively different in configuration than the initial configuration of the digital good.
