Abstract
An apparatus for providing protected content to a device(s) by reacquisition of the content from an entity of a service may include a processor and a memory storing executable computer program code that causes the apparatus to at least perform operations including determining one or more Digital Rights Management (DRM) formats that one or more devices support in response to receipt of an indication(s). The computer program code may cause the apparatus to arrange data identifying the devices based at least in part on the DRM formats that correspond to the devices. The computer program code may cause the apparatus to facilitate receipt of content in at least one DRM format that at least one of the devices supports in response to a determination that a first device was selected to provide the content to a device for rendering. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided.
