Claim 20:
21. A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor to perform operations for a computing device to deploy live media content as a time-shifted playback, comprising:
receiving, from a client computing device, an initial content request for a time-shifted playback of live media content, wherein the time-shifted playback of the live media content uses a unique copy of a first live media content configured for playback associated with the initial content request and is generated by changing a part of the first live media content into a unique playback version of the first live media content, wherein the initial content request indicates a past point in time in the first live media content from which the time-shifted playback of the live media content originates;
enabling, for the client computing device, access to an assigned private path for accessing segments of the time-shifted playback of the live media content starting from a requested segment that corresponds to the indicated past point in time;
determining whether a subsequent content request for playback of a second live media content is received; and
preventing access by the client computing device to further segments of the time-shifted playback of the live media content in response to determining that the subsequent content request for playback of the second live media content is received.
