The method further includes: prior to receiving a response from the authorization server, providing an encrypted portion of the media item to the client device via the connection, receiving, from the authorization server, a verification that the client device is authorized to play the media item, and sending, via the connection between the client device and the streaming server, a cryptography key for decrypting the encrypted portion of the media item to the client device.
