A system and method are provided for device-based, or appliance-based, authentication of a range of media files. The device itself becomes the controlled domain within a known universe, monitored by an access provider much in the way that access and throughput are measured through cell phone usage. The range of allocated files is tracked instead of attempting to track individual files, or the individuals who copy the files themselves. An access provider, such as a Telco, ISP, or Carrier, is used to authenticate ranges of playable files on a particular device, based on allowable fidelities. A partnership structure is also described including all industries involved with content distribution horizontally, between the industries starting from an access provider (Infrastructure), to a content provider (Artist, Producer, Distributor) and finally to a Chip Manufacturer (Device or Appliance).
