USB connecting system and method

A system comprising:

• (a) a plug device configured to be operationally plugged into and unplugged from a socket that is configured according to a standard;
• and
• (b) a socket device configured with a restriction structure that prevents a plug that is configured according to said standard from being operationally plugged into said socket device;
• wherein said plug device is configured with an accommodating structure to be operationally plugged into and unplugged from said socket device despite said restriction structure;
• the system further comprising:
• (c) two electric conductors embedded within said socket device, wherein said plug device provides an electrically conductive path between said two electric conductors when said plug device is plugged into said socket device.

A system comprising:

• (a) a socket device configured to be operationally plugged onto and unplugged from a plug that is configured according to a standard;
• and
• (b) a plug device configured with a restriction structure that prevents a socket that is configured according to said standard to be operationally plugged onto said plug device;
• wherein said socket device is configured with an accommodating structure for being operationally plugged onto and unplugged from said plug device despite said restriction structure;
• the system further comprising:
• (c) two electric conductors embedded within said plug device, wherein said socket device provides an electrically conductive path between said two electric conductors when said socket device is plugged onto said plug device.

A method of digital rights management comprising the steps of:

• (a) configuring a media player with a socket device, having a restriction structure, to prevent a plug that is configured according to a standard from being operationally plugged into said socket device;
• (b) storing digital information in at least one media carrier;
• and
• (c) configuring said at least one media carrier with a plug device to be operationally plugged into and unplugged from a socket that is configured according to said standard;
• wherein said plug device is configured with an accommodating structure to be operationally plugged into and unplugged from said socket device despite said restriction structure, thereby allowing said at least one media carrier, of which its plug device includes said accommodating structure, to download said digital information to said media player;
• and wherein said socket device includes two electric conductors embedded therein, such that said plug device provides an electrically conductive path between said two electric conductors when said plug device is plugged into said socket device.
