A media validation and registration system includes media storage devices
which contain a quantity of content thereon, a user computer processor
assembly structured to access a select media storage device, a
verification module, and a communicative link between the verification
module and the user computer processor assembly. Each media storage
device includes a unique unit identifier, the verification module
identifying the unique unit identifier of the select media storage device
and receiving user information associated therewith. The verification
module is also structured to apply supplemental content in association
with a first user whose user information is associated with the unique
unit identifier for the select media storage device, and to allow the
user to register the media storage device through a computer network,
e.g., the Internet, and also to verify the status of the registration by
going to a website of the publisher or distributor of the media storage
device.
