Abstract
One embodiment of the invention comprises a system for controlling the viewing of programs at a user location having one or more viewing devices (106). The system comprises a viewing control system (102), which is adapted to count a number of viewings of a program during a time period, determine whether the number of viewings exceeds a viewing limit for the time period, and prevent further viewings of the program if the number of viewings exceeds the viewing limit for the time period.
