Abstract
A method for preventing unauthorized recording of media content on an Apple operating system (OS). The present method registers a compliance mechanism on a client system having the Apple OS operating thereon. The compliance mechanism comprises a framework for validating the compliance mechanism on the client system, and a multimedia component opened by the framework. The present method uses the multimedia component for decrypting the media content on the client system. The present method also prevents decryption of the media content on the client system having the Apple OS operating thereon if a portion of the compliance mechanism is invalidated.
