Abstract
A method for providing access to media content from a media content provider is performed at an electronic device. The method includes receiving, from a client device, a request for access to a media item. The method further includes, in response to the request for access to the media item: initiating an heuristic analysis to determine whether the client device is authorized to access the media item, including an examination of a media consumption log associated with the client device; and asynchronously providing access to the media item while performing the heuristic analysis. The method further includes, based on the examination of the media consumption log, determining that the client device has reached an access limit of requests to access media content. The method further includes, in accordance with the determination, after the client device has been provided to access the media item, terminating access to the media item.
