"Microsoft Corp is unveiling copyright protection software to allow rented songs or movies to be used on portable players, cellular phones and other devices. The company's latest 'digital rights management' [DRM] software, code-named Janus, was released Monday. It will give songs and videos purchased through subscription services a sort of digital expiration date that works even when the data is transferred from a computer. The technology also protects the content against piracy," reports AP.
