1. A method for allowing first and second users to access preview content stored on a portable memory device that is directly physically coupled to a host device, the method comprising: performing the following in the portable memory device that is directly physically coupled to the host device: receiving a request from the second user via the host device to access the preview content stored on the portable memory device, wherein the first user's access to the preview content expires according to an access rule; andallowing the second user to access the preview content even if the first user's access to the preview content has expired. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the preview content is protected with a digital rights management (DRM) system. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the preview content is not protected with a digital rights management (DRM) system. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the portable memory device comprises a removable memory card. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the portable memory device comprises a device selected from: a portable audio player, a portable video player, and a cell phone. 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing the second user with an opportunity to obtain a non-preview version of the preview content. 7. The method of claim 1 further comprises updating a license to reflect that the second user was allowed to access the preview content. 8. The method of claim 1 further comprising creating a license that specifies the second user's access to the preview content. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the license is stored on the portable memory device that stores the preview content. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the license is created by copying a master license. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein both the master license and the license are stored on the portable memory device that stores the preview content. 12. A method for allowing a user to access a preview version of content that the user is not allowed to access, the method comprising: performing the following in a portable memory device that is directly physically coupled to a host device: determining that there is content stored on the portable memory device that a user is not allowed to access, wherein a second user is allowed to access the content; andallowing the user to access a preview version of the content that is stored on the portable memory device via the host device by creating a license that specifies the user's access to the preview content, wherein the license is stored on the portable memory device. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the portable memory device comprises a removable memory card. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the portable memory device comprises a device selected from: a portable audio player, a portable video player, and a cell phone. 15. The method of claim 12 further comprising providing the user with an opportunity to obtain access to the content. 16. The method of claim 12 further comprises updating a license to reflect that the user was allowed to access the preview content. 17. A method for allowing access to preview content, the method comprising: performing the following in a portable memory device that is directly physically coupled to a host device: (a) determining if there is a license that specifies a user's access to preview content stored on the portable memory device;(b) when if there is a license that specifies the user's access to the preview content: providing the user with access to the preview content via the host device according to what is specified in the license even if another user's access to the preview content has expired; and(c) when there is not a license that specifies the user's access to the preview content: (c1) creating a license that specifies the user's access to the preview content; and(c2) providing the user with access to the preview content via the host device according to what is specified in the license created in (c1) even if another user's access to the preview content has expired. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the license is created in (c1) by copying a master license. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the master license is stored in a master license directory, and wherein the method further comprises storing the license created in (c1) in a user-specific directory. 20. The method of claim 18, wherein the master license is stored in a file, and wherein the method further comprises appending the license created in (c1) to the file storing the master license. 21. The method of claim 18, wherein the master license is stored in a directory, and wherein the method further comprises storing the license created in (c1) in the same directory as the master license. 22. The method of claim 17, wherein (b) further comprises updating the license to reflect that the user was permitted to access the preview content. 23. The method of claim 17, wherein (c) further comprises updating the license created in (c1) to reflect that the user was permitted to access the preview content. 24. The method of claim 17, wherein there is a license that specifies the user's access to the preview content because the preview content is protected with a digital rights management (DRM) system. 25. The method of claim 17, wherein there is not a license that specifies the user's access to the preview content because the preview content is not protected with a digital rights management (DRM) system. 26. The method of claim 17, wherein there is not a license that specifies the user's access to the preview content because the preview content is based on ciphered content. 27. The method of claim 17 further comprising repeating (a)-(c) for a different user. 28. The method of claim 17, wherein the portable memory device was used to provide the preview content to the another user. 29. The method of claim 28, wherein the portable memory device comprises a removable memory card. 30. The method of claim 28, wherein the portable memory device comprises a device selected from: a portable audio player, a portable video player, and a cell phone. 31. The method of claim 17 further comprising providing the user with an opportunity to obtain a non-preview version of the preview content. 32. The method of claim 31, wherein providing the user with the opportunity to obtain the non-preview version of the preview content comprises connecting the user to a web site that allows the user to obtain the non-preview version.
