A streaming request from a playback device for media content can be identified. The media content can originate from a unique content source which can be remote from the playback device. The content source can be communicatively linked to the playback device via a public network. Before submitting the request to the unique content source, a non-persisting data store can be queried for the media content. The non-persisting data store can comprise of previously acquired digital media which can be encrypted in a protected manner which remains inaccessible to a user except, when provided responsive to the streaming request. When results of the querying produce a match, the media content from the non-persisting data store can be conveyed to the playback device. When results of the querying do not produce a match, the media content can be requested from the content source and presented to the playback device.
