Using your notebook
38
Types of Memory Stick™ media
Two types of
Memory Stick™
are available. The first type,
MagicGate
Memory Stick
™ (hereafter
referred as
MG Memory Stick
), is provided with copyright protection. The second type, simply referred to
as
Memory Stick™
, does not have the same copyright protection as MagicGate.
You can use both types with your notebook.
For music, which requires copyright protection, you can only use
MG Memory Stick
with your notebook.
You can also use MagicGate-compatible devices to record and playback music when they are connected to
your computer.
You can store mixed data on the
MG Memory Stick
. For example, you can copy an image on to an
MG Memory Stick
that already contains music.
What is MagicGate?
MagicGate is copyright protection that consists of authentification and encryption technology.
Authentification technology ensures that protected content is only transferred between compliant devices
and media. Protected content is recorded and transferred in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized
duplication or playback.
✍
An MG Memory Stick can be recognized from its
mark.
Copyright protected music data cannot be checked out to a Memory Stick™ other than an MG Memory Stick.
The recorded music is limited to private use only. The use of music for any purpose other than the intended use requires the permission of the copyright
holders.
Sony is not responsible for music files that are not saved on your computer due to unsuccessful recording from CDs or unsuccessful downloading of
music.
