Method for obtaining and controlling the use of content (C i) by a terminal, said terminal comprising a client agent for controlling the use of the content, in which - in response to a request transmitted to a server, the terminal receives said content (C i) in encrypted form together with an associated digital rights management licence (L(C i)), said licence (L(C i)) containing conditions (COND_USE1, COND_USE2) for the use of the content (C i), - in case of a command to read said content, the controlling client agent checks (E12, E14-E16, E19) the conditions of use of the content, present in the licence (L(C i)), - the terminal transmits to the server a parental control management software module identifier, - the received licence (L(C i)), associated with the content (C i), contains ∘ a condition making the use of the content (C i) conditional upon the prior performance of a parental control operation and ∘ the identifier of said parental control management module transmitted, - when checking the conditions of use of the content, the controlling client agent determines that the use of the content (C i) is conditional upon an obligation (COND_USE1) to perform a parental control operation on the content (C i) and, using the identifier of the parental control management module extracted from the licence (L(C i)), it transmits a request for authorization (REQ_AUTH(C i)) to use the content (C i) to the parental control management module, said request comprising information on the nature of the content, extracted by the client agent controlling the content or the licence, - the parental control management module performs a parental control operation (E12-E16) on said content (C i) according to the information on the nature of the content and transmits a result of the parental control (E17, E18) to the controlling agent in order to authorize or deny the reading of the content depending on whether the result is positive or negative. - in response to a request transmitted to a server, the terminal receives said content (C i) in encrypted form together with an associated digital rights management licence (L(C i)), said licence (L(C i)) containing conditions (COND_USE1, COND_USE2) for the use of the content (C i), - in case of a command to read said content, the controlling client agent checks (E12, E14-E16, E19) the conditions of use of the content, present in the licence (L(C i)), - the terminal transmits to the server a parental control management software module identifier, - the received licence (L(C i)), associated with the content (C i), contains ∘ a condition making the use of the content (C i) conditional upon the prior performance of a parental control operation and ∘ the identifier of said parental control management module transmitted, ∘ a condition making the use of the content (C i) conditional upon the prior performance of a parental control operation and ∘ the identifier of said parental control management module transmitted, - when checking the conditions of use of the content, the controlling client agent determines that the use of the content (C i) is conditional upon an obligation (COND_USE1) to perform a parental control operation on the content (C i) and, using the identifier of the parental control management module extracted from the licence (L(C i)), it transmits a request for authorization (REQ_AUTH(C i)) to use the content (C i) to the parental control management module, said request comprising information on the nature of the content, extracted by the client agent controlling the content or the licence, - the parental control management module performs a parental control operation (E12-E16) on said content (C i) according to the information on the nature of the content and transmits a result of the parental control (E17, E18) to the controlling agent in order to authorize or deny the reading of the content depending on whether the result is positive or negative.
