[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nYANGAROO's Patents and Infringement Claims Not Affected by Competitor\nActivity\n\n\nTORONTO, Oct. 6 /CNW/ - YANGAROO Inc., (TSX-V: YOO, OTCBB: YOOIF) the\nindustry's leading secure digital media distribution company today issued an\nupdate of the status of its patents.\n\n\n"There will be no impact whatsoever from the recent allowance of Destiny\nMedia Technologies Inc.'s (OTCBB:DSNY) U.S. patent application on our\nintellectual property rights. None of our two granted U.S. and Canadian\npatents, our pending U.S. patents, or our $15 million infringement and $25\nmillion defamation claims against Destiny will be affected," said John Heaven,\nPresident and CEO of YANGAROO.

In other words, every time\na user receives a media track, it has an embedded decryption engine with it.\nThe decryption process at the user's end relies on a decryption key that is\nitself encrypted with a user key which is bonded to the user's computing\ndevice, e.g. the user key must be based on a serial no. or other\ncharacteristic of the user's computer. The decryption key must be received\nthrough a different communication path from the media file, meaning it cannot\ncome from the same source as the media file; there must be a separate key\nmanagement server (e.g. DRM server) for providing a key to decode the media.\n\n\nNeither YANGAROO'S Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS), nor\nYANGAROO'S granted and pending patents fall within the claims contained in\nDestiny's applica...
