Abstract:
In some embodiments, a method for controlling access to media is provided, the method comprising: receiving an encrypted media content stream from a media content source that includes first media content corresponding to at least a portion of a media content item; requesting a second media content stream that includes second media content having a playback position adjacent to the first media content, wherein the second media content stream includes key information for decrypting the encrypted media content stream; decrypting the encrypted media content stream using the key information included in the second media content stream; and causing the decrypted media content stream to be presented.
