Abstract: A method for peer-to-peer sharing may be performed by one or more devices within a subscription multimedia network, such as a closed distribution network. The method includes broadcasting a content reference of digital content available on a peer device within the subscription multimedia network, the content reference including digital rights management restrictions for the digital content associated with the content reference. The method also includes receiving, from a requesting media client using the subscription multimedia network, a selection of the content reference; and obtaining credentials of the requesting media client. The method further includes determining whether the credentials are acceptable for receiving the digital content based on the digital rights management restrictions; and providing, to the requesting media client using the subscription multimedia network, a decryption key for the digital content if the credentials are acceptable.
