A method and system to distribute content via a network commences when content is received at a content distributor from a content provider.

The operation may be performed within a secure environment implemented at the content distributor, and may comprise an association operation to associate the content with a content consumer. In an exemplary embodiment, the association operation comprises a watermarking operation to watermark the content as content distributed specifically to the content consumer. In a further exemplary embodiment, the association operation comprises an encryption operation to encrypt the content utilizing a key associated with, and communicated to, the content consumer.
