Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
initiating presentation of a digital movie to an in-theatre digital projector or in-home movie accessing system in response to receiving, from a client-side device, a first request to initiate the presentation;
querying the in-theatre digital projector or in-home, movie accessing system for a unique identifier of the in-theatre digital projector or the in-home movie accessing system;
receiving the unique identifier from the in-theatre digital projector or the in-home movie accessing system;
comparing the unique identifier to a stored unique identifier, yielding a comparison;
in response to determining, based on the comparison, that the received unique identifier matches the stored unique identifier:
initiating distribution of a stream of the digital movie for delivery from a remote content delivery system or via a distribution server;
providing the stream of the digital movie to the in-theatre digital projector or the in-home movie accessing system;
receiving, from a client-side computing device, a second request to initiate presentation of the digital movie, the client-side computing device being connected to a second in-theatre digital projector or second in-home movie accessing system;
in response to receiving the second request, querying the second in-theatre digital projector or the second in-home movie accessing system connected to the client-side computing device for a unique identifier of the second in-theatre digital projector or the second in-home movie accessing system; and
in response to determining that the unique identifier received from the second in-theatre digital projector or the second in-home movie accessing system does not match the stored unique identifier, denying the second request to initiate presentation of the digital movie.
