A SYSTEM AND METHOD OF GENERATING ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION KEYS AND ENCRYPTING/DECRYPTING A DERIVATIVE WORK

A derivative work is encrypted using master keys generated from source data extracted from digital sources used to create the derivative work. The master keys are sequentially applied to the entire derivative work. A software application permits a mix artist to encrypt and stream a derivative work to a worldwide web server, where it is made available to consumers. A software application permits the consumers to acquire and decrypt an encrypted derivative work if the consumer has possession of a corresponding digital source for each of the digital sources used to encrypt the derivative work.
