The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the usage rights include status information relating to the state of the usage rights. 3. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein the step of transferring further comprises updating the status information of the usage rights. 4. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein the step of transferring further comprises creating the next set of rights based on the usage rights and the status information of the usage rights, wherein the next set of rights include status information relating to the state of the next set of rights. 5. The method as recited in claim 4, wherein the step of processing further comprises changing the status information of the next set of rights. 6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the step of processing the usage transaction to determine if access to the digital content can be granted in accordance with the next set of rights further comprises determining if the second storage component has the required authorization. 7. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein the status information of the usage rights comprises a history list indicating events relating to the digital content. 8. The method as recited in claim 4, wherein the status information of the next set of rights comprises a history list indicating events relating to the digital content. 9. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the usage rights comprise a revenue identifier for identifying a revenue owner of the digital content. 10.

The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the usage rights include status information relating to the state of the usage rights. 15. The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the first non-centralized repository is further operative to update the status information of the usage rights. 16. The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the first non-centralized repository is further operative to create the next set of rights based on the usage rights and the status information of the usage rights, wherein the next set of rights include status information relating to the state of the next set of rights. 17. The system as recited in claim 16, wherein the first non-centralized repository is further operative to change the status information of the next set of rights. 18. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the first non-centralized repository is further operative to determine if the second storage component has the required authorization. 19. The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the status information of the usage rights comprises a history list indicating events relating to the digital content. 20. The system as recited in claim 16, wherein the status information of the next set of rights comprises a history list indicating events relating to the digital content. 21. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the usage rights comprise a revenue identifier for identifying a revenue owner of the digital content. 22.
