A6: No. Media usage rights are stored on the computer separately from your music or video files. Q7: How does the Zune software use media usage rights? A7: When you try to use a protected song or a protected video, the Zune software checks whether you have valid media usage rights for that file. If the media usage rights let you perform the action, Zune performs that action for you. If Zune does not find valid media usage rights for the file, or if the rights do not let you to perform the action, Zune does not perform the action. Typically, you receive an error message that states why the action is not performed. You can also check the properties of the file in the Zune software to view the DRM rights that the content has.
