A traitor tracing enabling system assigns sequence keys to a media player to enable better tracability with fewer actual variations in the content. The system comprises a technique for increasing a number of sequence keys, allowing a finer granularity in a traitor tracing process with little increase in sequence key storage or in bandwidth required to transmit sequence keys to a media player. The present system comprises a variation table which maps the sequence keys to the individual variations in the file, such that multiple sequence keys can be mapped to a single variation.
