Webinar Recording
Topics Covered
- What is the state of streaming video piracy today? How much is being stolen? Is it a lot? A little?
- When DRM first came out, there was a lot of consumer backlash? Are people more comfortable with DRM today? Why or why not?
- What are some considerations when implementing DRM? What do content owners and distributors have to keep in mind when selecting this technology?
- Does DRM work for live streaming content? What are the pros and cons?
- What kind of assurances does HTTPS provide in securing online video? Is this a technology that content distributors should deploy regardless of other kinds of video protection methods they are using?
- How does watermarking play into an online video security strategy? Is it a deterrent? Can it prevent stream theft? How is it enforced?
- Is there a conflict between adding more security mechanisms to protect streaming content and latency? If yes, how can it be fixed?
- Besides DRM and watermarking, what are some other methods that content owners and distributors can (and should) use to protect their content against theft? At the server? At the player?
- Are there any ways network operators can help combat stream piracy (i.e., Kodi boxes)?
- How does mobile viewership complicate efforts by content owners and distributors to protect their content?
- Are there any security technologies that might be coming into play over the next couple of years which would radically change the current environment?
