Rights management and syndication of content

Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for distributing syndicated content or content with one or more distribution restrictions. In one aspect, a method may include assigning a unique ID to a plurality of content items, where the unique ID of at least one of the content items is associated with one or more property distribution restrictions. The method may further include streaming in a video stream the content items to at least two properties and monitoring the unique IDs of the plurality of content items streamed in the video stream to detect least one content item associated with the one or more property distribution restrictions. The distribution of the least one content item associated with the one or more property distribution restrictions may be blocked from the one or more properties concurrently with streaming the video stream, based on the one or more property distribution restrictions.

 associating one or more syndication targets with a content item, wherein the one or more syndication targets comprise at least one of a channel, a section of a property, a brand, or a property, and wherein the one or more syndication targets persist with the content item through one or more modifications of the content item; and   routing the content item to the one or more syndication targets, wherein the one or more syndication targets are selected for routing using a filter.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the content item is associated with a package, and wherein the one or more syndication targets are also associated with the package. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
 performing the one or more modifications to the content item.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein performing the one or more modifications further comprises at least one of:

         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 modifying one of the one or more syndication targets to create one or more second syndication targets; and   
       retaining at least the one or more syndication targets in a list separate from the content item. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 associating the one or more syndication targets with a second content item.   
     
     
         9 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for distributing syndicated content to multiple digital properties, that when executed by one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform the following operations:
 associating one or more syndication targets with a content item, wherein the one or more syndication targets comprise at least one of a channel, a section of a property, a brand, or a property, and wherein the one or more syndication targets persist with the content item through one or more modifications of the content item; and   routing the content item to the one or more syndication targets, wherein the one or more syndication targets are selected for routing using a filter.
