copyright attribute

The copyright attribute specifies copyright information for a media element or collection of media elements. The copyright attribute value is included in the content description list that is sent to the client. Windows Media Player displays the value when the media element or elements are played. Values specified for the copyright attribute must be text strings.

In the following example, a copyright attribute value is specified for the source file, IntroFile1.wma:

<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil>
   <media id="intro" src="IntroFile1.wma">
      <clientData copyright="(c)Microsoft Corporation 2002"/>
   </media>
</smil>

The copyright attribute can be specified for the following playlist element:

• clientData element

Notes

• If the user is running Windows Media Player for Windows XP and earlier, the clientData element information will be ignored. The clientData element is supported by Windows Media Player 9 Series.
• For more information about defining playlist attributes, see the Windows Media Services Software Development Kit (SDK) at the Microsoft Web site.
• If you are creating or editing server-side playlists by using either a text editor or an automated script, ensure that the copyright attribute tags are in the correct case. XML is a case-sensitive language, and Windows Media Services will not recognize playlist attributes that are not listed properly.
