Patent ID: 8850594

Claim:
A method for digital rights management of captured content, comprising: a computer receiving a certification from a user stating that captured content does not comprise a particular restricted element and a request from the user for an adjustment of a digital rights management rule identified for the captured content based on the captured content comprising the particular restricted element; the computer adjusting at least one term of the digital rights management rule to reflect that the captured content does not comprise the particular restricted element by embedding the certification in the captured content with the adjusted digital rights management rule, wherein the certification defines permitted usage of the captured content by one or more devices receiving the captured content and specifies the particular restricted element certified by the user as not included in the captured content; the computer monitoring whether usage of the captured content by the user, through the one or more devices receiving the content, matches the certification, by receiving other content, associated by the user with the captured content after the certification is embedded in the captured content, from one or more devices that monitor other content associated with the captured content when displayed by the one or more devices, and detecting whether the other content, associated by the user with the captured content after the certification is embedded in the captured content, indicates the captured content comprises the particular restricted element specified in the embedded certification; and the computer, responsive to detecting that the other content associated by the user with the captured content after the certification is embedded in the captured content does indicate the captured content comprises the particular restricted element specified in the embedded certification, blocking use of the captured content by the user at the one or more devices.
