Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for providing content for consumption on a mobile device by temporarily licensing the content to the mobile device while the mobile device is travelling between two locations having media devices licensed to provide the content for consumption, or while temporarily outside a location having a media device licensed to provide the content for consumption. Upon detecting that the mobile device is leaving a location at which the content is being provided it is determined whether the mobile device is within a threshold distance of the location, or if the content is licensed to be provided for consumption by a media device at an identified destination. The content is temporarily licensed for consumption on the mobile device to allow the mobile device to provide the content for consumption while outside the first location or while travelling to the second location.
