Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to systems and methods of providing a particular number of distributions of media content through a plurality of distribution nodes, which individually distribute the media content to users and/or other distribution nodes. The system may provide the media content and an allocation of the media content to a distribution node. The allocation may specify whether the distribution node may distribute the media content (e.g., a binary indication) or a number of times that the distribution node may distribute the media content during a time interval. By keeping track of allocations to and distributions by various distribution nodes, the system may adjust allocations and distributions to ensure adherence to the limit. For instance, the system may turn off distribution by some distribution nodes while allowing distribution by others. The system may also or instead reduce allocations or time intervals during which the various distribution nodes may distribute the media content.
