Hi anna

My friend prasanth E and me suggesting one idea to prevent our content leakage anna. We have seen lots of controversy in instagram about that reverse engineering content leak issue.

The idea is,

1st idea : If we can prevent the video recording and taking screenshot in the discuss forum by using java script. (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaRecorder/stop) I don’t know this method is valuable or not…you may find other ways to solve it too anna😊

2nd idea is we can restrict the access by enabling 2FA for watching videos

3rd we can restrict the IP connection at one time for 1 user like hot-star anna

I am sure you have already thought these things, I am saying because if not in any case.

Indeen a valuable research @arunmozhi5284, thanks for taking time in making our community a better place 🙂

So here are my thoughts regarding your proposal

We are not worried about screenshots and video recordings because end of the day it has to be decoded somewhere and displayed where it can be captured and re-rendered as a video - where Javascript has no power. So we didn’t put effort there, at just limiting it with a common password.
Even if we restrict with 2FA, the one who chooses to share the password with a another, we cannot do anything about it. So the case is same if we provide different or common passwords. So the amount of difficulty we introduce to prevent anyone from downloading doesn’t differ.
If we are worried about videos getting shared, restring to 1 IP still won’t be an affordable choice - because
- We need our own media streaming server for that - and I have already failed in a similar area once in my another startup.
- The advices I took from Ex-CEOs of some streaming companies says that hosting media streaming is pain and espceially when we want to treat it like OTT and so I decided to go with Vimeo, because, there is no fix.
- In case if he shares his passwords to external sources, they are not going to watch at the same time. We are mostly worried about the aluminies who shares their videos. We request them not to, still some do. May be in future we will introduce “Device Locking” facilities while we host our own Media Streaming like Netflix 😃

If you have alternative ideas, I am all ears 👂️
