The Verimatrix Video Protection & Anti-Piracy Blog

Video consumption has evolved from the familiar pay TV bundles of channels delivered by cable or satellite to today’s multi-sourced streaming content delivered digitally across many devices — thanks to advances in internet/cloud and mobile technologies. These advances, combined with the OTT revolution and COVID-19 disruption, have accelerated the pace of change and corresponding threats. Piracy, for example, has grown from local, isolated annoyances to technically savvy fraud executed at scale, capable of disrupting multi-million dollar revenue streams with ease. Serious stuff.

Piracy has become a major source of revenue loss, especially during the past year when in-person spectatorship was cancelled. The bright side? Powerful security techniques can prevent and deter piracy at all stages of the workflow.
