An anchor-point based digital rights management provides for a posted move of one or more digital rights between two devices. By executing a posted move, a user (1) disables a binding record of a source user device, thereby terminating authorized use of the digital property instance through at the source anchor point; and (2) enables a different binding record of a target user device, thereby allowing authorized use of the digital property instance through that target anchor point. Such a "move" can accomplished through secure communications links mediated by one or both of a content handler and an anchor point message system.
