The method further comprises serving the encrypted content stream to a plurality of content consumption devices, wherein the encrypted content stream is embedded with a leaf license comprising the encrypted content key, and wherein the encrypted content stream is cryptographically decryptable by a content consumption device having a scalable root license providing one or more intermediate root keys from which the content consumption device derives the one or more intermediate decryption keys paired to the one or more intermediate encryption keys.
