Abstract
A method includes, during an initial time: receiving a manifest request, for a video, from a device associated with a first address; generating an identifier associated with the first address; generating a manifest defining a set of segments available for the video; and serving the manifest. The method further includes, during a first time: receiving a first request for a first segment, in the set of segments, the first request associated with the first address and the identifier; and based on association between the first address and the identifier, serving the first segment to the first address. The method also includes, during a second time: receiving a second request for a second segment in the set of segments, the second request associated with a second address and the identifier; and based on disassociation of the second address and the identifier, withholding delivery of the second segment to the second address.
