Abstract
In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media are described that are associated with blackout rules for media content. In embodiments, one or more segments may be generated from the media content, one or more of the generated segments containing a blackout rule identifier. The blackout rule identifier may identify a blackout rule describing one or more limitations to access to the piece of media content. When displaying the media content, a client device may retrieve the blackout rule based at least in part on the blackout rule identifier. The client device may then limit access to the media content if directed to do so by the blackout rule.
