Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for controlling a distribution of resources on a network. In one embodiment, among others, a processor is configured to transmit a request to access resources at a distribution service and receives location rules associated with the resources. The location rules specify an authorized location and an authorized perimeter area. The authorized location and the authorized perimeter area specify different access rights to the resources. The processor can determine a location of a computing device and determine that the computing device is compliant with at least one of the location rules based on the location of the computing device. The processor is configured to transmit a compliance indication to the distribution service for the location rules and receive access to at least some of the resources from the distribution service.
