This invention presents a method or system for the secure distribution of electronic media through a network. The method is unique in that it protects a distributor's license and copyrights even when distributing random-access electronic media such as software and books. To achieve this benefit, the invention uses 3 components: a Licence Media Service (LMS), a Client Log-in Component (CLC) and a secure Client Instantiation Component (CIC). The client uses the CLC to identify itself to the LMS and request the media. The LMS validates the user and sends only allowed media components back to the client. The CLC then passes these components on to the CIC which instantiates them directly in client memory, without first saving them to disk, drastically reducing the risk of piracy as the media is never stored per-sea on the client machine.
