1. A method for monitoring access to an encrypted digital media, the method facilitating interoperability between a plurality of data processing devices, the method comprising:
- receiving an encrypted digital media access branding request from at least one communications console of the plurality of data processing devices, the branding request being a read or write request of metadata of the encrypted digital media, the request comprising a membership verification token provided by a first user, corresponding to the encrypted digital media;
authenticating the membership verification token, the authentication being performed in connection with a token database;
establishing connection with the at least one communications console wherein the communications console is a combination of a graphic user interface (GUI) and an Applications Programmable Interface (API) protocol, wherein the API is obtained from a verified web service, the verified web service capable of facilitating a two way data exchange to complete a verification process;
requesting at least one electronic identification reference from the at least one communications console wherein the electronic identification reference comprises a verified web service account identifier of the first user;
receiving the at least one electronic identification reference from the at least one communications console; and
branding metadata of the encrypted digital media by writing the membership verification token and the electronic identification reference into the metadata.
