Method and system for managing high-bandwidth data sharing
First Claim
1. A method by a data server for preventing unauthorized publishing of content on the data server, the content provided by a publisher system, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to publish content from a publisher system, the request including an encrypted counter having a counter value;
decrypting the counter to extract the counter value;
comparing the counter value to a locally stored value associated with the publisher system; and
allowing the publisher system to transmit content to the data server in response to determining that the counter value is greater than the locally stored value.

Abstract
A server arrangement for facilitating the exchange of content between a plurality of user system associated with a common group is provided by employing a centralized server for directing publishing and extracting of content and a plurality of associated servers for facilitating the transmission of content between the user systems. A publisher is directed by the central server to a specific data server where content is to be provided. A consumer is directed by the central server to a specific data server from which content is to be extracted. The system is particularly adept for facilitating the exchange of video data between members of a common group coupled to the Internet.

2. A method by a data server for preventing unauthorized consuming of content on the data server, the content consumed by a consumer system, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request to extract content from the data server from a consumer system, the content associated with a publisher system, the request including an encrypted counter having a counter value; decrypting the counter to extract the counter value; comparing the counter value to a locally stored value associated with the consumer system and associated with the content from the publisher system; and allowing the consumer system to extract content from the data server in response to determining that the counter value is greater than the locally stored value. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for preventing unauthorized publishing of content comprising:
-
a computer system coupled to a computer network, wherein the computer system provides content; and a data server directly connected to the computer system via said computer network, wherein the data server receives a request to publish content from the computer system, the request including an encrypted counter having a counter value, and wherein the data server decrypts the counter to extract the counter value, compares the counter value to a locally stored value associated with the computer system, and allows the computer system to transmit content to the data server in response to determining that the counter value is greater than the locally stored value. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
