Points to note about the SD/SDHC memory card
SD/SDHC memory cards comply with SDMI (Secure Digital Music

protected material on another computer or other device, and you may not
reproduce any copyrighted material except for your personal enjoyment.
Below is a simple explanation for distinguishing SD memory cards from
SDHC memory cards.

The logo on SD and SDHC memory cards is different, so pay careful
attention to the logo when purchasing.

cards.
Formatting an SD/SDHC memory card

all areas of the memory card, including the protected area, you will need to
obtain an appropriate application that applies the copy protection system.
