1. A method for storing, degrading and storing, or not storing data, comprising: providing a device comprising a local content server (LCS); wherein said LCS comprises a communication port, non-transient LCS storage media, and an LCS domain processor for processing digital data; wherein said LCS is configured to use said LCS domain processor to impose rules and procedures for content being transferred between the LCS and devices outside the LCS to control transfer of first content into a first LCS domain of said LCS from outside said LCS, thereby defining said first LCS domain; wherein said LCS is configured to use said rules and procedures to determine if said first content contains authorization information indicating either authenticity or lack of authenticity; wherein said LCS stores an LCS identification code associated with said LCS; and said LCS analyzing a content authentication watermark; and degrading said first content resulting in degraded first content and storing said degraded first content in said first LCS domain in said non-transient LCS storage media when said analyzing finds no authorization information indicating either authenticity or lack of authenticity in said first content.
