Abstract
In example embodiments, a system and method for managing the resale of digital media rights is provided. In example embodiments, user accounts that store digital media rights for digital content may be maintained. An indication that a first user having a first user account intends to transfer digital media rights for a particular digital content may is received. A verification process is performed to verify that the digital media rights of the first user are transferable. Based on an indication that a transaction has occurred, the digital media rights are transferred from the first user account to a second user account associated with a second user that is a recipient of the digital media rights.
