Abstract
A method and system to secure content for distribution via a communications network commences when a user device authentication process is associated with content from a content provider. A copy-protected device authentication process is associated with the content. The user device authentication process and the copy-protected device authentication process are separate authentication processes to protect the content from unauthorized access.
