WHITE PAPER

The Case for Complementing DRM with Forensic Watermarking

When video content makes its way into the pirating and torrenting communities, it immediately loses value. Its value will only continue to decrease as the pirated content spreads and is consumed by more people.

Protecting video content can be difficult because those who set out to steal it are often sophisticated and skillful. Video pirates can identify weaknesses in some security schemes and develop a way to circumvent them.

The most effective approach for protecting video content is by leveraging forensic watermarking and digital rights management (DRM). This whitepaper presents both protection methods and explains why the best practice is to use both methods in tandem.
