In certain embodiments, a method for generating fees using a receiving
device, involves distributing censored video from a distributor video to
a receiving device; and uncensoring the censored video using the
receiving device upon payment of a fee. The receiving device uses overlay
data received from the distributor to uncensor the censored video by
overlaying the overlay data over the censored video using a video overlay
frame to overlay a video frame containing the censored video data in
accordance with boundaries determined by an alpha plane within the
receiving device. This abstract should not be considered limiting since
embodiments consistent with the present invention may involve more,
different or fewer elements.
