Abstract
A method for providing access to media content from a media content provider is performed at an electronic device. The method comprises receiving, from a client device, a request for access to a media item. The method further comprises, in response to the request for access to the media item, initiating an analysis to determine whether the client device is authorized to access the requested media item based on detection of multiple different user identifiers using a same local-application universally unique identifier (UUID). A local-application UUID is assigned to each instance of an application provided by the media content provider. The method further comprises, in accordance with a determination that the client device is not authorized to access the requested media item based on detection of the multiple different user identifiers using the same local-application UUID, preventing access to the requested media item by the client device.
