ABSTRACT:
With techniques for obtaining digital objects (e.g., songs or video clips) from information providers in data communication networks (e.g., the Internet), the digital objects typically being sent through channels (e.g., Internet radio channels or Internet TV channels), end-users gain several advantages over prior techniques. For example, end-users may easily locate desired digital objects, need not be connected during object capture, can be connected through a low speed connection, need not have a high capacity computer, can receive supplemental information associated with the digital objects, can quickly scan a vast number of digital objects having been sent earlier, need not have storage space for the digital objects available during object capture, can easily navigate through a multitude of digital object channels, can easily obtain objects with a certain desired quality and/or format, can legally obtain digital objects at no cost and can prove that the digital objects were actually obtained legally.
