摘要

A process for securing a backup digital copy of DVDs, music and books a person owns. The process may require the owner cut out the UPC and/or bar code, mail the UPC in and then receive a username and pass-code to download a backup digital copy of their DVD, music and/or book or the owner my receive a backup on portable digital media. Furthermore, proof of ownership may be authenticated not only cutting out the UPC/bar code but also taking a high resolution picture of the actual disk or media with verification markings made by the owner so that the reviewer can see if the ownership is authentic. A picture of the original receipt may also be used to verify ownership. The process may provide ease of getting the back-up copies of the media and it may prevent the customer from paying twice for the same media.
