Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure facilitate the streaming of media from an authorized media content provider to an end user navigating the website of an online provider without necessitating that the online provider obtain licenses to distribute the media. The streamed content is not downloadable (e.g. to the user's computer system or the provider's computer system), thereby protecting against unauthorized copying and redistribution of the media.
