Abstract

A method of presenting content, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, includes receiving a request for an item of content and selectively verifying ownership of the requested content. If verification of ownership is not to be performed for the particular request, the item of content may be served. If ownership is substantiated for the particular request, the content may also be served. If ownership is not substantiated for the particular request, the content may be purged. Ownership verification may be by access to a physical copy of the content (e.g., DVD, CD or the like).
