A method, comprising: authenticating, at a first personal identification device, a biometric input of a first user; sending a subscription privilege associated with the first user from the first personal identification device of the first user to a first media device at a first location when the biometric input is authentic such that the first media device decrypts an encrypted form of media using a key when the media is transmitted from a media provider based on the subscription privilege associated with the first user, the subscription privilege associated with the first user being configured to permit access to the media from the media provider associated with the subscription privilege associated with the first user; sending the subscription privilege associated with the first user from the first personal identification device to a second media device at a second location when the first user is authenticated such that the second media device decrypts the encrypted form of the media using the key when the media is transmitted from the media provider based on the subscription privilege associated with the first user, the second media device being different from the first media device, the second location being different from the first location; producing, at the first personal identification device, a subscription privilege associated with a second user different from the first user, the subscription privilege associated with the second user being configured to permit access to the media from the media provider associated with the subscription privilege associated with the first user; and sending from the first personal identification device to a second personal identification device the subscription privilege associated with the first user and the subscription privilege associated with the second user, the second personal identification device being associated with the second user. authenticating, at a first personal identification device, a biometric input of a first user; sending a subscription privilege associated with the first user from the first personal identification device of the first user to a first media device at a first location when the biometric input is authentic such that the first media device decrypts an encrypted form of media using a key when the media is transmitted from a media provider based on the subscription privilege associated with the first user, the subscription privilege associated with the first user being configured to permit access to the media from the media provider associated with the subscription privilege associated with the first user; sending the subscription privilege associated with the first user from the first personal identification device to a second media device at a second location when the first user is authenticated such that the second media device decrypts the encrypted form of the media using the key when the media is transmitted from the media provider based on the subscription privilege associated with the first user, the second media device being different from the first media device, the second location being different from the first location; producing, at the first personal identification device, a subscription privilege associated with a second user different from the first user, the subscription privilege associated with the second user being configured to permit access to the media from the media provider associated with the subscription privilege associated with the first user; and sending from the first personal identification device to a second personal identification device the subscription privilege associated with the first user and the subscription privilege associated with the second user, the second personal identification device being associated with the second user.
