How to protect yourself from pirates?

Question

Video

Hello!
I have a question for you!
How to protect your author's video course that will be held on the Internet through the Adobe Connect program ... They constantly leak it to the network, I don’t know what to do, and how to be ..
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Answer 1

Well, it’s standard - technically and / or administrative measures
1) Technical ones won’t really help here for my taste - because if a person can see the video, then obviously he can record it
2) Administrative - register the copyright for the course and then sue those who post it

Answer 2

There is always a limit at which it is not economically profitable to protect your content. And no security services will help. Even if you put protection, on sites like "warehouse" they will collect, buy one copy from you, start it for playback and record it with a screen capture program and put it on trackers.
Possible solutions:
1. "Score" on the pirates. All the same, "soprut" content. Anyway. They are downloaded mainly by collectors of all sorts of training / video courses. But the trick is that they most likely will not _apply_ this knowledge. Maybe they will post somewhere "I have 100 GB of trainings, I will give a link for 500-1000 rubles."
2. "Conscious" pirate involuntarily.
Example: A boy lives in a small town. I decided to do, for example, editing photos or videos, downloaded your course from trackers and after a while started earning money from it, and even not bad. Why don't you point out that if the course brought you material benefits, but you "communized" it, throw some money on the following details.
PS It is necessary to make a beautiful article and upload it to your blog ...

Answer 3

technically nothing, they will record and merge ... the only thing that I personally see is to monitor torrents for the presence of a course and write what would be deleted.

Answer 4

1. Keep the course relevant for a short period of time: it will not make sense.
2. Overlay watermarks.
Actually, everything is in the video on the site, everything is described in detail and the service itself ...

Answer 5

Writing a course is half the battle. It is necessary to apply personal communication / support to it, then there is little sense from the merged course.

Answer 6

As a rule, in agreements for the transfer of materials containing commercial secrets, and for the author they are such, they prescribe a confidentiality agreement, which specifies the obligations and responsibilities of the parties on non-distribution and taking measures to preserve materials in order to prevent third parties from viewing them.
That is, if a video with a barcode (watermark) pops up, no lawyer can make you out of a camel as a simple user who does not know how the materials leaked, it will no longer matter and the author of the video will still punish you.
