An approach is provided for providing digital rights management within a connected service and content ecosystem. The approach involves receiving a request for content for use at at least one device, wherein the request originates from at least one companion device. The approach also involves causing at least in part, a packaging of the content according to at least one digital rights management format based, at least in part, on identification information associated with at least one of: the at least one device; the at least one companion device; at least one user associated with the at least one device, the at least one companion device, or a combination thereof; and the content. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a transmission of the packaged content, at least one link to the packaged content, or a combination thereof to the at least one device, the at least one companion device, or a combination thereof. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, an activation of the packaged content for use at the at least one device.
