Abstract

Systems and methods for site-dependent embedded media playback manipulation whereby a media owner can enable limited embedding on non-owned or non-monetized websites to direct traffic to a more valuable location. The content owner can specify sets of internet locations with associated sets of rules governing content playback criteria as well as restrictions based upon user categorizations. A playback restriction system consists of a media delivery system and a playback rules system. The media delivery system controls the delivery of the media file with embedded restrictions. The playback rules system controls the nature of the restrictions and the rules of when they are applied. Users will be directed to the location of a more valuable website where the media can be viewed with a less restrictive set of rules.
