  • Publication number: 20230267179
    Abstract: A system for performing digital rights protected content playing includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive, from a first user, metadata identifying one or more content segment(s), determine whether the first user has a right to access the content segment(s), produce a playlist using the metadata when the first user has the right, and output the playlist to the first user and/or a second user. The hardware processor may further execute the software code to receive the playlist from the second user, determine each content segment identified by the playlist that the second user has a right to access, generate a content compilation that omits any content segment identified by the playlist to which the second user lacks the right, and playout the content compilation to the second user.
