The apparatus and method for information and content portability includes a transmitting device, a media device, and at least one receiver/playback device. The transmitting device transfers information or content, optionally as encrypted data over a secured channel in accordance with digital rights management rules. The media device, being interfaced to the transmitting device, receives the transferred information or content from the transmitting device and retransmits the content received from the transmitting device to at least one receiver/playback device. The receiver/playback device, being interfaced to the media device, receives and processes the information or content received that's been retransmitted by the media device. The devices may be co-located or not (i.e., home, automobile, or office) and may optionally leverage set-top, home gateways, and personal communication devices to facilitate portability.
