1. An apparatus comprising:
a user interface;
a communication port; and
a user computing device in communication with the user interface and the communication port, the user computing device configured to:
receive, via the user interface, a selection to play digital multimedia content of a referring website on the user computing device;
generate a first communication in a first internet protocol comprising a request to stream the digital multimedia content and identifying data for the referring website, wherein the first communication is configured to be sent via the communication port;
receive a first data usable to establish a streaming session with a streaming server and the identifying data of the referring website;
generate an initiation message based on the first data and the identifying data of the referring website in a second internet protocol to establish a streaming session to stream the requested digital multimedia content to the user computing device from the streaming server, wherein the initiation message is configured to be sent via the communication port; and
streaming the requested digital multimedia content from the streaming server and at least one advertisement via the streaming session,
wherein content of the initiation message is used to associate the referring website with the streaming session to remunerate the referring website based at least in part on the at least one advertisement streamed by the user computing device.
