GURUGRAM, India, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — VdoCipher, a leading provider of video player and piracy protection solutions, has celebrated remarkable success in its fight against video piracy with the debut of the Piracy Tracker Engine. This innovative technology has effectively thwarted over 60,000 piracy attempts across more than 700 platforms in just six months, reinforcing VdoCipher’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding digital content and preserving revenues.
For the past eight years, VdoCipher has been at the forefront of DRM Encryption and Dynamic Watermark technologies, delivering robust security solutions to content creators globally. In a bid to combat piracy, the company recently introduced the Piracy Tracker and Hacker Identification Engine, designed to identify and block various forms of piracy, including DRM breaches, credential sharing, and the use of illegal clone applications.
VdoCipher serves a vast number of content creators, boasting a presence in over 120 countries and serving more than 10,000 content creators across 3,000 platforms. Vibhav Sinha, CTO of VdoCipher, explained, “We continuously strive to enhance our security stack with additional layers of technology each year. In addition to our strong Video DRM encryption, we now utilize a secure player to identify 12 different viewer behavior patterns. Our customers have access to an easy-to-use dashboard that provides comprehensive piracy information. Some leading e-learning platforms have already leveraged this tool to catch hackers, expand their user base, and optimize their revenues.”
The proliferation of internet video piracy tools presents a significant challenge, especially in Europe. Recent statistics reveal that streaming accounted for 58% of piracy in the EU in 2022, while downloading made up 32% of instances. Shockingly, the top 10 popular global video downloaders have amassed over 110 million users.
Furthermore, a comprehensive report on global online piracy reveals that Europeans face the greatest piracy problem, accounting for 45.72% of cases. Countries such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, the UK, and France have experienced an alarming surge in film piracy during the Covid-19 pandemic. Platforms like Telegram have played a crucial role in facilitating the widespread distribution of pirated content, with numerous groups boasting over 10,000 users each, all engaged in leaking course videos.
Over the past six months, VdoCipher’s Piracy Tracker Engine has yielded impressive results, including:
– Blocking 63,210 sessions that displayed potential piracy attempts.
– Blocking 12,330 unique devices/IPs that were engaging in piracy.
– Identifying and taking action against 1,690 users for credential misuse.
– Proactively blocking 384 user accounts based on piracy data.
– Initiating legal actions against 5 users.
Siddhant Jain, CEO of VdoCipher, highlighted the significant impact of video piracy on the education and content creator economy. Jain stated, “Video piracy not only robs creators of their rightful revenue but also deprives students of learning from high-quality teachers. The fear of piracy discourages teachers from sharing their best content online, ultimately harming the student community. At VdoCipher, our mission is to empower more educators and content creators to embrace the online space by ensuring that they do not suffer revenue losses due to online piracy, all while providing viewers around the world with the best viewing experience possible.”
