A method and system allow anonymous observation of premium content. A purchaser (user) of premium content connects and logs in to the server system via the Internet or other electronic medium. The server presents the user with a number of options for viewing or otherwise observing premium content (i.e. HTML Document, Video or Audio Stream, etc.) from a variety of providers. Through these options the user submits a request for an item of content to the server. The server then retrieves the content from the content provider's system or from a local cached version. If the content contains links (i.e. HTML Links) to other items of content at the provider, the server changes these links into links that request the same content from the server. The content is then delivered to the user's observation device (i.e. Web Browser, Telephone, etc.).
