Abstract
Media content to be place shifted is received at the local user device along with a place shift enabled parameter that contains data associated with the received media content and that indicates whether the received media content is authorized to be place shifted. A user command to place shift the received media content to the remote user device is also received. It is then determined, by analyzing the place shift enabled parameter, whether the received media content is authorized to be place shifted and based on this determination the place shifting of the received content to a remote device is allowed or impaired.
