(i) The provisions of this Agreement shall not be taken or offered by any party as a waiver or license of any copyright interest or an admission of the existence of infringement (or not) of a copyright interest, but represents a technical accommodation with respect to DTCP. Without limiting any term or condition of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed to limit Content Participant’s right to seek to protect Commercial Audiovisual Content through means other than DTCP, and the Encoding Rules apply only with respect to the application of DTCP.
