In various embodiments, a content distribution model is provided in which content providers that own content can distribute their content to third-party content distributors who are unaffiliated with the content providers. The content distributors can, in turn, manipulate the content to provide supplemental content, such as advertising and the like, and then distribute the manipulated content to users who are authorized to consume the content. In this way, content providers are relieved of the responsibility of owning or controlling how such other supplemental content is integrated with their protected content. In this manner, manipulation of the content is delegated to third party content distributors. In one or more embodiments, a ticket-based approach is used as a basis to authenticate that third-party distributors are, in fact, authorized to distribute presentations that include the content provider's content. The ticket-based approach can be used for both server-based verification and client-based verification scenarios.
