1. A system comprising:
one or more memory devices; and
one or more processors associated with the one or more memory devices and with a plurality of fabric nodes of a network, the fabric nodes being configurable to provide digital content corresponding to a plurality of content object parts maintained in the network, and one or more of the fabric nodes being configurable to:
determine a user identifier (ID) associated with a request from a client for the digital content;
determine satisfaction of one or more rules controlling access to the digital content based on at least:
obtaining a digital instrument using a blockchain ledger, the digital instrument configured to be processed for cryptographical verification of an owner of the digital content, the digital instrument having been generated for the digital content before the request from the client, and
determining, based on the digital instrument, that the user ID matches the owner of the digital content; and
provide for delivery of the digital content to the client in response to determining satisfaction of the one or more rules.
