Abstract
In some embodiments, a method receives a distribution area identifier for media content. A distribution area is defined by one or more geographic primitives and associated with a distribution area identifier. A geographic primitive is defined by one or more location identifiers. The method determines whether the one or more geographic primitives of the media content is applicable to a geographic primitive that is determined from a location identifier associated with a request.
