A method is performed to regulate access to electronic content based on content usage telemetry data. A first computer receives, from a second computer system, a request for access to electronic content. The first computer system determines, based on an access profile associated with the second computer system, that the second computer system is authorized to access the electronic content. A first authorization message indicating that the second computer system is authorized to access the electronic content is transmitted from the first computer system to the second computer system. The first computer system receives, from the second computer system, content usage telemetry data including data items indicating metrics of use of the electronic content by the second computer system. The first computer system modifies the access profile of the second computer system based on the content usage telemetry data.

Hashtag-playlist content sequence management may include receiving a hashtag-playlist generation request message including a hashtag-playlist indicator and a first content curator indicator, storing hashtag-playlist information indicating an association between the hashtag-playlist indicator and the first content curator indicator, receiving a request for a sequence of content, wherein the request for the sequence of content includes the hashtag-playlist indicator, generating the sequence of content by identifying hashtag-playlist content objects, wherein each respective content object from the hashtag-playlist content objects is identified based on information indicating a defined association between the respective content object and the hashtag-playlist identifier, and including at least one content object from the hashtag-playlist content objects in the sequence of content, and transmitting at least one content object from the sequence of content for presentation to a user associated with the user account.

A method and apparatus for unit-based licensing for third party access of digital content are provided. Unit-based licensing for third party access of digital content may include receiving a request for access to content, the request for access indicating the customer account and a third party, identifying a cardinality of assigned units for the content, identifying a cardinality of available licensing units allocated to the customer account, determining, by a processor, whether the cardinality of the assigned units is within the cardinality of available licensing units, outputting a response indicating that the request is granted on a condition that the cardinality of the assigned units is within the cardinality of available licensing units, and outputting a response indicating that the request is denied on a condition that the cardinality of the assigned units exceeds the cardinality of available licensing units.
