Summary

The invention related to a system which enables users to make secondary use of distributed content such as music, audio or video data and to perform editing to create subsidiary content, and to share that content. The claims themselves related to means for controlling how that subsidiary content is deleted from the database and how re-uploading of that content is prevented. The hearing officer found that the contribution lay entirely in the field of programs for computers as such and therefore refused the application.
