重要事项：使用本补充协议中提供的 Microsoft 软件文件（“Microsoft 软件”）即表示您同意下列条款的约定。如果您不同意下列条款的约定，您 不能使用 Microsoft 软件。 提供的 Microsoft 软件仅用于替代以上阐明并根据许可证协议原先提供的 Microsoft 软件产品（"原产品"）副本中的相应文件。一经安装， Microsoft 软件文件便成为原产品的一部分，受到原产品许可证协议中的条 款和条件的相同约定和保修。如果您没有有效的原产品使用许可证，您就不 得使用Microsoft 软件。禁止将Microsoft 软件用作其他用途。 从 Creative 立场看，本协议中没有任何内容可解释为提倡或准许侵犯适用 于您的辖区的本地和/或国际法。 MICROSOFT WMFSDK9 系列协议的 DRM 补充协议 ======================================== 内容供应商使用随本软件发布的用于 Windows Media 的 Microsoft 数字权 限管理技术 ("WM-DRM") 来保护其内容的完整性 ("安全性内容")，这样， 他们在这类内容里的包括版权在内的知识产权就不会遭到侵害。本软件的部 分内容以及第三方应用程序使用 WM-DRM 播放安全性内容 ("WM-DRM Software")。如果 WM-DRM 软件的安全性能降低，安全性内容拥有者 ("Secure Content Owners") 可以要求 Microsoft 撤销 WM-DRM 的复制、 显示和/或播放安全性内容的软件权限。撤销不改变播放未受保护内容的 WM-DRM 软件能力。一旦您从 Internet 上下载安全性内容执照，一份撤销 的 WM-DRM 软件列表将发送至您的电脑。Microsoft 也许会代表安全性内容 拥有者，下载此执照时也一并下载撤销列表至您的电脑上。安全性内容拥有 者也可能要求您升级一些随此软件一起发布的 WM-DRM ("WM-DRM Upgrades") 组件后，才能存取他们的内容。当您试图播放这类内容时， Microsoft 制作的 WM-DRM 软件将通知您需要 WM-DRM 升级版，然后征求了 您的同意再下载 WM-DRM 升级版。非 Microsoft WM-DRM 软件可能有相同的 做法。如果您拒绝升级，您将不能存取需要 WM-DRM 升级版的内容，然而您 仍然能够存取未受保护的内容以及那些不需要升级版的安全性内容。WM-DRM 的存取功能，诸如获取执照和/或执行必要的 WM-DRM 升级等功能，都可以 关闭。当关闭这些功能时，如果您的电脑上已有一个有效的内容执照，您仍 然可以播放相应的安全性内容。 致 Creative 用户的版权信息 特定的 Creative 产品是用于帮助您对那些为版权所有者允许或适用法律所 豁免的材料进行复制。除非您拥有版权或类似的授权，否则,您可能由于违 反版权法而受到罚款或被要求其他赔偿。如果您对您的权力还不清楚，请与 您的法律顾问联系。 使用 Creative 产品时您有责任确保不违反适用的版权法，因此复制某些材 料可能需要事先经过版权持有者的许可。对于任何非法使用 Creative 产品 的情况，Creative 不承担任何责任，并且 Creative 在任何情况下对储存 于压缩过的音频文件中的数据来源不负有任何责任。 您认可并且同意在实时广播（陆地、卫星、有线或其他媒体）或通过 Internet 及其他网络，如 Intranet（但是不限定于其中），在付费音乐或 有偿应用程序中，使用或输出 MP3 Codecs 是未经许可和/或未经授权的（ 也可参见 http://www.iis.fhg.de/amm/）。 *本协议的汉语简体版仅用作翻译目的，若与下一页的英文版有任何出入之 处，则以英文版为准。 ==================================================================== CREATIVE END-USER SOFTWARE

ADDENDUM TO THE MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT ==================================================== IMPORTANT: By using the Microsoft software files (the "Microsoft Software") provided with this Addendum, you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms, you may not use the Microsoft Software. The Microsoft Software is provided for the sole purpose of replacing the corresponding files provided with a previously licensed copy of the Microsoft software product ("ORIGINAL PRODUCT"). Upon installation, the Microsoft Software files become part of the ORIGINAL PRODUCT and are subject to the same warranty and license terms and conditions as the ORIGINAL PRODUCT. If you do not have a valid license to use the ORIGINAL PRODUCT, you may not use the Microsoft Software. Any other use of the Microsoft Software is prohibited. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed on the part of Creative as advocating or authorizing the infringement of local and/or international laws applicable to your jurisdiction. DRM ADDENDUM TO THE MICROSOFT WMFSDK9 SERIES AGREEMENT ====================================================== Content providers are using the Microsoft digital rights management technology for Windows Media distributed with this software ("WM-DRM") to protect the integrity of their content ("Secure Content") so that their intellectual property, including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Portions of this software and other third party applications use WM-DRM to play Secure Content ("WM-DRM Software"). If the WM-DRM Software's security has been compromised, owners of Secure Content ("Secure Content Owners") may request that Microsoft revoke the WM-DRM Software's right to copy, display and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does not alter the WM-DRM Software's ability to play unprotected content. A list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your computer whenever you download a license for Secure Content from the Internet. Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your computer on behalf of Secure Content Owners. Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM components distributed with this software ("WM-DRM Upgrades") before accessing their content. When you attempt to play such content, WM-DRM Software built by Microsoft will notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required and then ask for your consent before the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. Non-Microsoft WM-DRM Software may do the same. If you decline the upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade; however, you will still be able to access unprotected content and Secure Content that does not require the upgrade. WM-DRM features that access the Internet, such as acquiring new licenses and/or performing a required WM-DRM Upgrade, can be switched off. When these features are switched off, you will still be able to play Secure Content if you have a valid license for such content already stored on your computer. SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION =================================================== If you acquired the Software in the European Union (EU), the following provisions also apply to you. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Software License Agreement set out EARLIER and IN the following provisions, the following provisions shall take precedence. Decompilation You agree not for any purpose to transmit the Software or display the Software's object code on any computer screen or to make any hard copy memory dumps of the Software's object code. If you believe you require information related to the interopretability of the Software with other programs, you shall not decompile or disassemble the Software to obtain such information, and you agree to request such information from Creative at the address listed earlier. Upon receiving such a request, Creative shall determine whether you require such information for a legitimate purpose and, if so, Creative will provide such information to you within a reasonable time and on reasonable conditions. Limited Warranty EXCEPT AS STATED EARLIER IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND AS PROVIDED UNDER THE HEADING "STATUTORY RIGHTS", THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT.
