Professor Bradgate, an academic who was commissioned by BIS to investigate consumer rights and digital content, defined digital content as "data or information products supplied in digital format as a stream of zeros and ones so as to be readable by a computer and give instructions to the computer". Digital content includes mp3s, software, streamed films, e-books, online games and apps. The means for supplying digital content are varied: it can be downloaded or streamed via the Internet; sent by email or another means; supplied in physical form (such as on a DVD); or incorporated into another product (such as a car with a navigation system).
