This worked for images.. didnt try it on movies or music:

<?php
         $connections = `cat counter.txt`;

         if ($connections < 3) {
                 $connections += 1;
                 system("echo $connections > counter.txt");
                 $fh = fopen('image.jpg', 'r');
                 header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
                 if ($fh) {
                         $content = fread($fh, filesize('image.jpg'));
                         echo $content;
                 }
                 fclose($fh);

                 $connections -= 1;
                 system("echo $connections > counter.txt");
         }
?>

Of course, you might want to implement file opening and file locking 
when reading from the counter file to avoid collisions.

You can also find a list of content types to use here:

Depending on what format you're going to use.

Lemme know if this helps  :)
